Question

Starting from rest, how far will a brick fall if it is going 15 m/s and accelerates at a rate of 9.8 m/s2?

Answer 1

11.48 m

Step-by-step explanation:

A brick starts from rest and gains a speed of 15 m/s and accelerates at 9.8 m/s^2

u = 0

v= 15

a= 9.8

s= ?

V^2 = U^2 + 2as

15^2 = 0^2 + 2 × 9.8×s

225= 19.6s

s= 225/19.6

s = 11.48m

Hence the brick will fall 11.48 m
