When object falls freely we can say

its initial speed will be ZERO

and its acceleration due to gravity must be

[tex]a = g = 9.8 m/s^2[/tex]

Now we need to find the distance of free fall in 3 s of time

So here we will use kinematics

[tex]y = v* t + \frac{1}{2} at^2[/tex]

now we will plug in all values in it

[tex]y = 0 + \frac{1}{2}* 9.8 * 3^2[/tex]

[tex]y = 44.1 m[/tex]

So it will fall by total distance of 44.1 m

Answer:

The brick will cover a distance of [tex]44.1\;\rm{m[/tex].

Explanation:

Given: A brick starting from rest fall freely in 3 seconds.

As mentioned in question,

When an object falls freely then its initial speed will be [tex](u)=0\; \rm{m/s[/tex].

Acceleration due to gravity is [tex]a=g=9.8\;\rm{m/s^{-2[/tex].

Time [tex](t)=3\; \rm{seconds[/tex]

Using the laws of motion: [tex]s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2[/tex]

Substiuting all the values we get:

[tex]s=0\times3+\frac{1}{2}\times9.8\times3^2\\s=0.5\times9.8\times 9\\s=44.1\;\rm{m[/tex]

Therefore, the brick will cover a distance of [tex]44.1\;\rm{m[/tex].
