We can use the equation for free fall:
h = (1/2)gt^2, where h is the height (35 meters), g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/sĀ²), and t is the time in seconds.
Rearranging the equation to solve for t:
t = ā(2h/g)
Plugging in the given height and acceleration:
t = ā(2*35/9.8)
t ā 2.67 seconds
It takes approximately 2.67 seconds for the apple to hit the ground.
