What is the distance covered by a Freely falling object 5 seconds after being dropped ? After 6 seconds?

This year is 60 years since I learned this stuff, and one of the things I always remembered is the formula for the distance a dropped object falls:

D = 1/2 A T²

Distance = (1/2) (acceleration) (time²)

The reason I never forgot it is because it's SO useful SO often.  You really should memorize it.  And don't bury it too deep in your toolbox ... you'll be needing it again very soon. (In fact, if you had learned it the first time you saw it, you could have solved this problem on your own today.)

The problem doesn't tell us what planet this is happening on, so let's make it easy and just assume it's on Earth.  Then the 'acceleration' is Earth gravity, and that's 9.8 m/s² .

In 5 seconds:

D = 1/2 A T²

D = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (5 sec)²

D = (4.9 m/s²) (25 sec²)

D = 122.5 meters


In 6 seconds:

D = 1/2 A T²

D = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (6 sec)²

D = (4.9 m/s²) (36 sec²)

D = 176 meters

Magma can partially crystallize at depth and then rise to shallow depths where the remaining magma solidifies. the early-formed
Murljashka [212]
Magma can partially crystallize at depth and then rise to shallow depths where the remaining magma solidifies. the early-formed crystals are phenocrysts and the texture is porphyritic. in Lava or near the earth surface,very large crystals can grow, forming intrusive rocks or volcanic rocks . magma that cools in <span>shallow magma chambers </span> has a relatively short time to cool and so forms <span>fine grained rocks </span>, but not volcanic glass. in deep magma chamber, magma cools at a slow rate, allowing the formation of extrusive or plutonic rock .

A rock is dropped from the top of a vertical cliff and takes 3.00 s to reach the ground below the cliff, A second rock is thrown
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

12.25m/s

Explanation:

d=v_ot+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

Since the initial velocity of the dropped rock is 0, you can write this as:

d=\dfrac{1}{2}(9.8)(3)^2=44.1m

Now, you can set up the equation for the thrown rock:

44.1=v_o(2)+\dfrac{1}{2}(9.8)(2)^2 \\\\\\44.1=2v_o+19.6 \\\\\\2v_o=24.5 \\\\\\v_o=12.25m/s

Hope this helps!
