Answer:
d = 80 m
its vertical displacement (in m) after 4 s is 80 m
Explanation:
From the equation of motion;
d = vt + 0.5at^2 ......1
Where;
d = displacement
v = initial velocity = 0 (dropped with no initial speed)
t = time of flight = 4s
a = g = acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s^2
Substituting the given values into equation 1;
d = 0(4) + 0.5(10 × 4^2)
d = 0.5(10×16)
d = 80 m
its vertical displacement (in m) after 4 s is 80 m
