Answer:
d = 61.25 m
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of seconds, t it takes for an object to fall a distance of d meters can be found using the formula :
[tex]t=2\sqrt{\dfrac{d}{g}}[/tex] .....(1)
It is required to find the distance covered by ab object in 5 seconds
Solving equation (1) for d. So,
[tex]d=\dfrac{t^2g}{4}[/tex]
Putting all the values we get :
[tex]d=\dfrac{(5)^2\times 9.8}{4}\\\\d=61.25\ m[/tex]
So, the distance covered by the object is 61.25 m.
