Answer:

11.1s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Height of cliff  = 600m

Unknown:

How long it takes to hit the ground  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use one of the kinematics equation;

    H  = ut  +  [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]gt²  

H is the height

u is the initial velocity  = 0m/s

t is the time taken

g is the acceleration due to gravity

             600 = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x 9.8 x t²  

              600  = 4.9t²  

                 t²  = 122.5

                 t  = 11.1s
