Question

a raindrop is 16 meters above nicoles umbrella. if it falls at a constant velocity of 4 meters per second straight down, how much time will it take the raindrop to fall halfway to nicoles umbrella? write your answer as a whole number. seconds

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate half - distance

The initial height is 16 meters. Half of 16 meters is $\frac{16}{2}=8$ meters.

Step2: Use velocity - time formula

We know that velocity $v = 4$ m/s and distance $d = 8$ m. Using the formula $t=\frac{d}{v}$, we substitute the values: $t=\frac{8}{4}$.
