16 In this question use \(g = 9.8 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 2 }\)
An apple tree stands on horizontal ground.
An apple hangs, at rest, from a branch of the tree.
A second apple also hangs, at rest, from a different branch of the tree.
The vertical distance between the two apples is \(d\) centimetres.
At the same instant both apples begin to fall freely under gravity.
The first apple hits the ground after 0.5 seconds.
The second apple hits the ground 0.1 seconds later.
Show that \(d\) is approximately 54
