in a movie the FBI is investigating an assassination attempt on the life of the president. The setting is a parade in New York, and an amateur photographer has made a videotape of the passing motorcade. A careful examination of the tape shows in the background a falling object that turns out to be a binoculars used by the would-be assassin. From the tape, the FBI is able to determine the binoculars fell the last 12m before hitting the ground in 0.38s. it is important for them to know the height and hence, the building floor, from which the binoculars were dropped. Can this be determined from the given info? If so, from what height were the binoculars dropped?​

To determine the height from which the binoculars were dropped, we can use the kinematic equation for free-falling objects:

The general formula for calculating the height from which an object is dropped is:

where:

-  is the height

-  is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately

 on Earth)

-  is the time it takes for the object to fall

Given that the binoculars fell the last 12m in 0.38s, we can calculate the height from which they were dropped by rearranging the formula to solve for :

Since 12 meters is not equal to 0.70556, there might be an error in the calculation or the information provided. Thus, it seems that the height from which the binoculars were dropped cannot be accurately determined with the given information
