This is false. There were many times in history when people discovered something that they didn't even know was possible or didn't even plan to discover it. Knowing tradeoffs doesn't mean that something won't surprise you or that all will go according to plan.

A penny is dropped off the top of the Stratosphere from rest and falls freely with the

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

S = 122.5m

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

Time, t = 5 seconds

Since it's a free fall, initial velocity, u = 0

To find the displacement, we would use the second equation of motion given by the formula;

$S = ut + \frac {1}{2}at^{2}$

Where;

S represents the displacement or height measured in meters.

u represents the initial velocity measured in meters per seconds.

t represents the time measured in seconds.

a represents acceleration measured in meters per seconds square.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

$S = 0*5 + \frac {1}{2}*(9.8)*5^{2}$

$S = 0 + 4.9*25$

S = 122.5m.
