You drop a rock off a bridge. When the rock has fallen 4 m, you drop a second rock. As the two rocks continue to fall, what happ
ens to their velocities? a. Both increase at the same rate.
b. The velocity of the first rock increases faster than the velocity of the second.
c. The velocity of the second rock increases faster than the velocity of the first.
d. Both velocities stay constant.
Two rocks are off a bridge first rock is fallen 4 when the second rock is dropped.
Both the rock is dropped under the effect of acceleration due to gravity so, the rate of change of the velocity for both the rock particle will be the same.
Hence, the first rock will reach ground earlier than the second rock because the rate of change of both the rock is at the same rate.
Based on your problem where as ask for the distance of the ball drop between the pitchers mound and the home plate and with a given of the speed of ball is 43m/s and the homeplates is 60.6ft away. Based on my step by step procedure and also considering the value of gravity by 9.8m/s^2 i came up with the distance of 144m away
