Question 13

13.

If I drop a watermelon from the top of the clock tower at UT Austin, and it takes 3.34 seconds to hit the ground, calculate how tall the tower is in meters.

Question 14

14.

You are walking in Paris alongside the Eiffel Tower and suddenly a croissant smacks you on the head and knocks you to the ground. From your handy dandy tourist guidebook, you find that the height of the Eiffel Tower is 300.5 m. If you neglect air resistance, calculate how many seconds the croissant dropped before it tagged you on the head
