Problem
While falling freely from rest, a stone is observed to cover a distance of 45m in one particular one–second interval. Take g=10m/s2.
(i) Determine which second of the motion corresponds to this 45m displacement.
(ii) Find the distance the stone will cover in the immediately following one–second interval.
(iii) Calculate the total distance the stone has fallen from rest up to the end of the second found in part (i).
