If dropped from height h, we have
y = h - 4.9t^2
so, it takes t = √(h/4.9) seconds to hit the ground.
and we know that
y(t-1) = h/3
h - 4.9(√(h/4.9)-1)^2 = h/3
Now just solve for h
y = h - 4.9t^2
so, it takes t = √(h/4.9) seconds to hit the ground.
and we know that
y(t-1) = h/3
h - 4.9(√(h/4.9)-1)^2 = h/3
Now just solve for h
