Question

A 3.00kg ball is dropped from rest from the roof of a building 176.4m high. While the ball is falling, a horizontal wind exerts a constant force of 12.0N on the wall. How long does the ball take to hit the ground?

Answer 1

So you say that "a horizontal wind exerts a constant force of 12.0N on the wall" Gee, what a puny little wind. Does it exert any force at all on the ball?

t=sqrt(2h/g)
t=sqrt(2 x 176.4 / 9.81)
t=6.0 sec

Answer 2

The horizontal acceleration of the ball has no effect on its vertical motion. So you can ignore the mass and the wind force.
So just use a kinematic equation s=ut+½at²
