If you drop a basketball off a cliff and it travels at an average speed of 15 m/s, if the cliff is 60

meters high, how long will it take before the basketball hits the ground?

Remember that

The speed (s) is equal to divide the distance (d) by the time (t)

so

s=d/t

Solve for t

t=d/s

substitute teh given values

t=60/15

t=4 sec

therefore

the answer is 4 seconds
