It there were no gravity a stone thrown upward at 45 degrees would follow a straight-line path. But because of gravity, at the end of 1 second, the stone is actually
A)5 m below the straight line.
B)10 m below the straight line.
C)15 m below the straight line.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The stone falls 5 meters below the straight-line path due to gravity, as the acceleration due to gravity is approximately 9.8 m/s², and using the formula for distance fallen under gravity (d = 0.5 * g * t²), we get d = 0.5 * 9.8 * 1² ≈ 5 m.
