Answer:
2.99 s
Explanation:
To find the time it takes for the car to fall, we just need to analyze its vertical motion.
The motion of the car along the vertical direction is a free-fall motion, so we can use the following suvat equation:
[tex]s=\frac{1}{2}gt^2[/tex]
where
s = 43.9 m is the vertical distance covered by the car
g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity
t is the time of flight
Solving for t, we find:
[tex]t=\sqrt{\frac{2s}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(43.9)}{9.8}}=2.99 s[/tex]
