Finding the Fall Time for Sunglasses Dropped from 400 Feet
A safety engineer is drafting a manual for high-rise maintenance. To help workers understand the risks of falling objects, the manual includes a formula to calculate the time 't' (in seconds) it takes for an object to hit the ground when dropped from a height of 'h' feet. Which of the following is the correct formula?
A safety inspector uses the formula t = sqrt(h) / 4 to determine how long it takes for an object to fall. Match each component of this formula with its correct real-world definition.
