A rock is dropped from a bridge to the water below. It takes 3.20 s for the rock to hit the water. What is the speed of the rock when it reaches the water?
using the equation of linear motion we have
v = u + gt
where v = final velocity
u = initial velocity
t = time , g = acceleration due to gravity
v = 0 + 9.8*3.2
= 31.36 m/s
so the speed of rock when it reaches the water is 31.36 m/s

A rock dropped down a well takes 1.92 s to hit the water. How far below the top of the well is the surface of the water? Note: the acceleration from gravity is 9.8 m/ Note: d = 1/2gt2n
A rock is thrown horizontally from a bridge with a velocity of 10.0 m/s. It takes the rock 2.9 s to strike the water below. What is the magnitude of the velocity of the rock just before it hits the water?
1. A rock is dropped from a bridge that is 15 m above the surface of the river. How long does it take for the rock to hit the water? 2. A ball is thrown upward from the edge of the roof of a 20 m tall building with an initial velocity of 15 m/s. a) What is the maximum height reached by the ball? b) How much time does it take for the ball to reach the ground? c)...
(f)In order to find the height of a bridge, a rock was dropped off the bridge and timed. If it took three seconds to hit the water, what is the height of the bridge? 2marks 4. (a) Determine the distance covered by a body in 4.0s if its initial velocity, u is 20 m/s and acceleration is 4.0 m/s2 . (4 marks) (b) state three effects of forces on objects (6 marks) (c) State two demerits of Friction and suggest...
an object is dropped from a bridge to the water below. with a stopwatch, an observer notes that it takes 10 seconds for the object to travel the distance from the bridge deck to the water below. Determine the height of the bridge from the water, the velocity, and the acceleration of the object just as it hits the water. NOTE: solve this provlem in metric units and US customary units
A rock is thrown (not dropped) straight down from a bridge into the river below. At each of the following instants, is the magnitude of the rock's acceleration greater than g, equal to g, less than g, or 0? Explain? a. immediately after being released. b. just before hitting the water.
A rock is dropped from the top of a vertical cliff and takes 3.00 s to reach the ground below the cliff. A secon rock is thrown vertically from the cliff, and it takes this rock 2.00 s to reach the ground below the cliff from the time it is released. With what velocity was the second rock thrown, assuming no air resistance? Select one: a. 5.51 m/s downward , b. 4.76 m/s downward X O c. 12.3 m/s downward...
