For a body falling freely from rest (disregarding air resistance), the distance the body falls varies directly as the square of the time. If an object is dropped from the top of a tower 490 ft high and hits the ground in 7 sec, how far did it fall in the first 5 sec?

The answer to the question is

The object would fall 57.625 m in the first 5 seconds

Explanation:

To solve the question, we note that

the height of fall = 490 ft = ‪149.352‬ m

Time to touch the ground = 7 seconds

We are required to find out how far the object falls in the first 5 seconds

We apply the relation

S = u·t + 0.5×g·t ² = We then have

‪149.352‬ = U×7+0.5*9.81*49 From where u = -13 m/s

Therefore to find how far it falls in the first 5 seconds, we have

-13*5 + 0.5*9.81*25 = 57.625 m

no. bullets are macro objects. wave nature is for light waves, extremely tiny particles. if a light particle was the size of your finger, the bullet would be the size of the universe. so basically, that huge difference in size makes the wave nature of matter insignificant.
