Question

HELP!

A pot fell off a shelf and took 0.60 seconds to reach the ground, with an acceleration of 9.80m/s2, due to gravity. Determine the distance it fell with the free fall formula.

Answer 1

Using the free fall formula for height:

H = 1/2 gt^2 ( height = 1/2 x gravity x time^2)

H = 1/2 x 9.8 x 0.6^2

H = 1.764 meters
