Cherry Blossoms



During this past spring break my family and I went on a trip to Japan to mainly visit our relatives. We went walking through a park and saw the cherry blossoms starting to bloom and falling off. These cherry blossoms fall at -5cm/s (including air resistance). From this tree here (about 3.6 meters) i could find how long it would take for the cherry blossom to fall to the floor with x = vt.... -3.6 = -.05(m/s)t
t=72 seconds
