If you know that the rock fell 4.9 m in 1 s , how far did it drop in the first 0.5 s after you dropped it?
klio [65]
When an object is free-falling, no other force is acting upon it but the gravitational force. Because of this, the equations of motion are simplified. We can determine first the initial velocity:

v = √2gy = √2(9.81)(4.9) = 9.805 m/s

Then, we use this to the equation below:
y = vt + 1/2*at²
y = (9.805)(0.5) + 1/2(9.81)(0.5)²
y = 6.13 m
