Answer:
4.9 meters
Explanation:
We know that an 11 lb bowling bowl was dropped.
So we can say that the initial speed of the bowling ball is zero ,
the time taken by the bag to free fall is given as t = 1.0 s; and
the acceleration of free fall is given as a = 9.8 m/s[tex]^2[/tex].
So we will use the following equation to find the distance after falling fo 1 sec:
[tex]d=v_i*t+\frac{1}{2} at^2[/tex]
Substituting the given values to get:
[tex]d=0+\frac{1}{2} * 9.8 * 1^2[/tex]
[tex]d=4.9[/tex]
Therefore, the bowling ball will cover a distance of 4.9 meters when released from the top of the building.
