Answer:
d = 11.77 m
Explanation:
Given that,
A ball is droped off the side of a bridge after 1.55 seconds.
We need to find how far it has fallen.
It will fall under the action of gravity. It would mean that a = g = 9.8 m/s²
Let it is fallen at a distance d. d can be calculated using second equation of motion as follows :
[tex]d=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2[/tex]
Put u = 0 and a = g
So,
[tex]d=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times (1.55)^2\\\\d=11.77\ m[/tex]
Hence, it will fall at a distance of 11.77 m.
