Can you show me how they got to this answer. It's been too long since I had to change exponents.

Thank you,

    Hi !

    It would be my pleasure. The first step is to isolate \(t\) in the equation.

    $$ y_f=\frac{1}{2}at^2+h $$

    $$ y_f-h=\frac{1}{2}at^2 $$

    $$ 2(y_f-h)=at^2 $$

    $$ \frac{2(y_f-h)}{a}=t^2 $$

    $$ \sqrt{\frac{2(y_f-h)}{a}}=\sqrt{t^2} $$

    $$ \sqrt{\frac{2(y_f-h)}{a}}=t $$

    And since the objet is going from the reference \(y=0\) down to 900 mm, \(\Delta y=0m-900mm=0m-0,900m\).

    I hope this helps and if you have any other questions, feel free to ask them.

    Have a nice day !
