Question

When a stone is dropped from the top of a tower, the distances metres it falls in t seconds is given by s = 10?. Find how far it falls in 3 seconds?

Answer 1

Answer: 45 meters

Explanation:

The given equation is:

s = (1/2) * g * t^2

Where,

g = acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s^2 (approximate value)

To find the distance it falls in 3 seconds, we can substitute t = 3 in the above equation:

s = (1/2) * g * t^2

s = (1/2) * 10 * 3^2

s = (1/2) * 10 * 9

s = 45 meters

Therefore, the stone falls 45 meters in 3 seconds.
