d = distance the bowling ball has fallen = ?
g = acceleration due to gravity acting on the ball by earth = 9.8 m/s²
t = time of fall for the ball = 3.0 s
distance the ball has fallen is given as
d = (0.5) g t²
inserting the above values in the equation above
d = (0.5) (9.8 m/s²) (3.0 s)²
d = (0.5) (9.8 m/s²) (9.0 s²)
d = (4.9 m/s²) (9.0 s²)
d = 44.1 m
hence the distance fallen by the ball comes out to be 44.1 m
