One species of eucalyptus tree, Eucalyptus regnans, grows to heights similar to those attained by California redwoods. Suppose a bird sitting on top of one specimen of Eucalyptus tree drops a nut. If the speed of the falling nut at the moment it is 50.0 meters above the ground is 42.7 meters per second, how tall is the tree? Do you need to know the mass of the nut to solve this problem? Disregard air resistance.
a) 460.212 meters
b) 460.212 feet
c) 460.212 inches
d) 460.212 centimeters
