A marble is dropped a distance of 78.48 m. How long does it take to fall this far?

\(g = -9.8 ~m/s\\ h(t) = \dfrac{gt^2}{2} + v_0t+ h_0 = -4.9t^2 + 78.48\\ \text{at the end of it's fall the marble is at }h=0\\ 0=-4.9t^2 + 78.48\\ 4.9t^2 = 78.48\\ t^2 \approx 16.01632653\\ t \approx 4s\)

Are there any other ways to figure this out? Any other equations to get the same answer.

To figure this out you need to have the speed which the ball is traveling.

V=s/t

Volocity equals speed over time.

 

Volocity is in meters per second

In this problem the velocity changes as the marble accelerates towards the ground.

True. Your calculations are correct!
