Question

A stone is dropped from a certain height, distance covered by it in one second is:

Answer 1

Answer:

d = 4.9 m

Explanation:

It is mentioned that a stone is dropped from a certain height. It is required to find the distance covered by it in one second.

The initial speed of the stone is equal to 0 as it was at rest. Let d is the distance covered by the stone.

Using second equation of motion :

$d=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

Put u = 0 and a = g

$d=\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\d=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times 1^2\\\\d=4.9\ m$

So, the distance covered by it in one second is 4.9 m.
