While bob is demonstrating the gravitational force on falling objects to his class, he drops an 1.0 lb bag of feathers from the top of the science building. determine the distance the bag has traveled after falling for 1.5 seconds assuming it has reach free fall and given the gravitational acceleration of 9.8 m/sec2.

In the experiment of free fall bob released a bag of mass 1 lb

so here we can say that initial speed of the bag is Zero

time taken by the bag to free fall is given as

t = 1.5 s

also the acceleration of free fall is given as

a = 9.8 m/s^2

now we will use kinematics equation here for finding the distance of free fall

so the bag will fall down by total distance of 11.025 m from its initial released position.

1/0.14nm = 10^10/1.4 a lot
