A.

0.9 sec

B.

1.8 sec

C.

2.3 sec

D.

3.2 sec

Correct option is B

The time taken by an object to fall freely under gravity is given by the formula:

Where:

  • t = time taken to fall,
  • h = height of the object,
  • g = acceleration due to gravity (≈9.8 m/s2).


Step 1: Substituting the values

Here, h=16m and g=9.8 m/s2



Step 2: Simplifying the calculation



Final Answer:

The object will take approximately 1.8 seconds to strike the ground.
