Freddy Frog takes a dive from a bridge 53.0 m above a

river. Freddy is an expert and can streamline himself to avoid

windresistance. How long will it take him to reach his

aquatichomeland?

It will take him 3.29 s to reach his aquatic homeland

Explanation:

From the equation of motion,

S = ut + 1/2gt² ... Equation 1

Where S = Height, u = initial velocity, g = acceleration due to gravity, t = time.

Note: For a falling body, u = 0 m/s.

S = 1/2gt² ... Equation 2

Making t the subject of the equation

t = √ (2S/g) ... Equation 3

Given: S = 53.0 m,

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substituting these value into equation 3

t = √ (2*53/9.8)

t = √ (106/9.8)

t = √10.82

t = 3.29 s

Therefore it will take him 3.29 s to reach his aquatic homeland
