According to guinness, the tallest man to have ever lived was robert pershing wadlow of alton, illinois. he was last measured in 1940 to be 2.72 meters tall (8 feet, 11 inches). determine the speed which a quarter would have reached before contact with the ground if dropped from rest from the top of his head.

7.30523 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity = 0

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement = 2.72 m

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s² = a

Equation of motion

The speed which a quarter would have reached before contact with the ground is 7.30523 m/s

hi,

what occurs during a solar eclipse?

there are small tides across earth.

the moon is between earth and the sun.

p.s. im not sure if the first answer is correct because during a solar ecliphse there are spring tides and i dont know if they are the same.
