Answer:
h = 4.905 m
Explanation:
In order to find the distance covered by the object in 1 second, we can use the second equation of motion:
[tex]h = v_i t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2\\[/tex]
where,
h = distance covered = ?
vi = initial speed = 0 m/s
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²
t = time = 1 s
Therefore,
[tex]h = (0\ m/s)(1\ s)+\frac{1}{2}(9.81\ m/s^2)(1\ s)^2\\\\[/tex]
h = 4.905 m
