Answer:
It will take him 3.29 s to reach his aquatic homeland
Explanation:
From the equation of motion,
S = ut + 1/2gt² .................... Equation 1
Where S = Height, u = initial velocity, g = acceleration due to gravity, t = time.
Note: For a falling body, u = 0 m/s.
S = 1/2gt²...................... Equation 2
Making t the subject of the equation
t = √(2S/g)...................... Equation 3
Given: S = 53.0 m,
Constant: g= 9.8 m/s²
Substituting these value into equation 3
t = √(2×53/9.8)
t = √(106/9.8)
t = √10.82
t = 3.29 s
Therefore it will take him 3.29 s to reach his aquatic homeland
