An object falls from rest for 5 seconds. How far has it fallen? (Take g=10m/s2)
To calculate the distance an object falls in free fall, we can use the formula:
Where:
d is the distance fallen
v0 = 0 m/s (initial velocity since it is falling from rest)
g = 10 m/s2
t = 5 seconds
Substituting the values into the equation:
equation:
