Answer:
17.69 m
Explanation:
The time it takes the brick to strike the ground is 1.90 seconds.
We can apply one of Newton's equation of linear motion to find the height of the building:
[tex]s = ut + 0.5gt^2[/tex]
where s = distance (in this case height)
u = initial velocity = 0 m/s
t = time = 1.90 s
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s^2
Therefore:
s = (0 * 1.9) + (0.5 * 9.8 * 1.9 * 1.9)
s = 0 + 17.68
s = 17.69 m
The height of the building is 17.69 m.
