Assuming g = 10 m/s² and that air resistance is negligible, in 1/2 second a ball dropped from rest will fall A) 0.3 m. B) 0.8 m. C) 1.0 m. D) 1.25 m. E) 2.25 m.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The distance fallen by a freely falling object can be calculated using the formula:
d = (1/2)gt^2
where d is the distance, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and t is the time. Plugging in g = 10 m/s^2 and t = 1/2 s, we get:
d = (1/2)(10)(1/2)^2 = 1.25 m
Therefore, the ball will fall 1.25 meters in 1/2 second. The correct answer is D.
