The distance traveled by the egg after 2 seconds is 19.6 m.

The given parameters:

  • Height of the window, h = 40 m

The distance traveled by the egg after 2 seconds is calculated as follows;

[tex]h = v_0_y t + \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\[/tex]

where;

  • [tex]v_0_y[/tex] is the initial vertical velocity of the egg = 0
  • g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²
  • t is the time of motion, = 2 s

[tex]h = 0 \ + \ \frac{1}{2} \times 9.8 \times (2)^2\\\\h = 19.6 \ m[/tex]

Thus, the distance traveled by the egg after 2 seconds is 19.6 m.
