Answer the following with complete solutions. For the following problems, show all

For the following problems, show all work and write the answers in the correct blank. 1. An object falls from a high building. Ignoring air resistance, what will its velocity be after 6 seconds of falling? 2. An object falls from a high building and hits the ground in 9.0 seconds. Ignoring air resistance, what is the distance that it fell? 3. During a tornado in 2008 the Peachtree Plaza Westin Hotel in downtown Atlanta suffered damage. Suppose a piece of glass dropped near the top of the hotel falling 215 meters. A. Ignoring air resistance, how long would it take the piece of glass to hit the ground? B. Ignoring air resistance, what will the velocity of the piece of glass be when it strikes the ground? 4. An object falls from the Transco Tower in Houston and takes 15 seconds to reach the ground. A. What is its velocity at impact if air resistance is ignored? B. How tall is the building? C. What is its acceleration at the 20 second? D. What is its acceleration at the 5" second? E. If the Transco Tower were actually 3,000 meters tall, how long would an object take to free-fall off of the top of the building? (ignoring air resistance)
