Quiet enjoying this, a morning workout to get everyone awake.
I am standing on top of a 1,250m high tower, but suddenly it disappears. After stating, ‘Damn, this could be bad’, I plummet to Earth. 16s later, I hit the ground, but what speed am I going?
Ignore Air Friction, and Wind effects.
As always, this problem is solvable by our Geniuses out there.
1400 hours today, as it is a pencil cruncher, but you do need to say how you got the answer. No marks for just the answer.
Don’t worry. As luck would have it, I was wearing my super trainers today, so I will survive the drop, and will return on Monday to provide the next workout.
