7.4 s
Explanation:
Given:
[tex]v_0 = 73\:\text{m/s}[/tex]
[tex]v = 0[/tex]
[tex]a = -9.8\:\text{m/s}^2[/tex]
[tex]t = ?[/tex]
To solve the time it takes for the object to come to a stop, we are going to use the equation below:
[tex]v = v_0 + at \Rightarrow t = \dfrac{v - v_0}{a}[/tex]
Using the given values above, we get
[tex]t = \dfrac{0 - 73\:\text{m/s}}{-9.8\:\text{m/s}^2}[/tex]
[tex]\;\;\;\;= 7.4\:\text{s}[/tex]
