Answer:
0.6286 m
Explanation:
t = Time taken
u = Initial velocity
v = Final velocity
s = Displacement
a = Acceleration
g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s² = a
The length of the window is 1.9 m
[tex]s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow u=\dfrac{s-\frac{1}{2}at^2}{t}\\\Rightarrow u=\dfrac{1.9-\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times 0.36^2}{0.36}\\\Rightarrow u=3.51197\ m/s[/tex]
This velocity will be the final velocity when falling from above
[tex]v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{3.51197^2-0^2}{2\times 9.81}\\\Rightarrow s=0.6286\ m[/tex]
The top of the window below the windowsill from which the flowerpot fell is at a height of 0.6286 m
