A construction worker accidentally drops a brick from a high scaffold. a. What is the brick's velocity after 4.0 s? b. How far does the brick fall during this time?

The velocity after 4 seconds is 40 m/s and the height is 80 m.

From the equations of motion under gravity;

v = u + gt

V = final velocity of the brick

u = initial velocity of the brick

g = acceleration due to gravity = 10 ms-2

t = time taken

Note that, u = 0 m/s because the brick was dropped from a height.

v = 0 + 10(4)

v = 40 m/s

The height is obtained from;

h = ut + 1/2 gt^2

u = 0 m/s because the brick was dropped from a height.

h =  1/2 gt^2

h = 1/2 × 10 × (4)^2

h = 80 m

A. 39.2 m/s

B. 78.4 m

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Time (t) = 4 s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

A. Determination of the brick's velocity.

Time (t) = 4 s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Velocity (v) =?

v = gt

v = 4 × 9.8

v = 39.2 m/s

Thus, the brick's velocity after 4 s is 39.2 m/s

B. Determination of how far the brick fall in 4 s.

Time (t) = 4 s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Height (h) =?

h = ½gt²

h = ½ × 9.8 × 4²

h = 4.9 × 16

h = 78.4 m

Thus, the brick fall 78.4 m during the time.

peru sabe que indecopi jamas sirve imponen barreras para defender tus derechos. indecopi jamas investiga los casos a fondo y peor aun indecopi no defiende como debe ser los derechos de los consumidores. indecopi esta pintada es una institucion pagada por nuestros impuestos sin embargo nunca nos sirve para nada. indecopi jamas castiga a las operadoras ejemplarmente, encima nos cobran por reclamar lo que deberia ser gratuito y nunca investigan, pero si engordan sus bolsillos con nuestros impuestos, en conclusion indecopi esta pintada no sirve para nada.

f=ma a/f/m a= 480/60 a = 8m/s/s that is quick wow
