If you know that the rock fell 4.9 m in 1 s , how far did it drop in the first 0.5 s after you dropped it?

Answer

1.225 m

Explanation

The formula for getting the distance cover in this case is;

s = ut + 1/2 gt²

Where u⇒intial velocity

t⇒time taken

g ⇒ acceleration due to gravity

But in this case u = 0, t = 1 and s =4.9.

So, the first thin is to calculate the value of g.

S = 1/2 gt²

4.9 = 1/2 g × 1²

g = 4.9 × 2

= 9.8 m/s².

Now calculate the distance after 0.5 s.

S = 1/2 × 9.8 × 0.5²

= 1.225 m

waves moving from a fast medium to a slow medium will experience a reflection as light travels more slowly than red light. total internal reflection occurs when the critical angle is.
