One fine summer day a group of students was jumping from a railroad bridge into the river below. They stepped off the bridge with an acceleration (due to gravity) of 9.8 m/s2 and they hit the water 1.5 s later. How high (in meters) was the bridge? Only enter the number, not the units.

Answer:

11 m

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

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

Time (t) = 1.5 s

Height (h) =..?

The height of the bridge can be obtained by using the following formula:

h =½gt²

h = ½ × 9.8 × 1.5²

= 4.9 × 2.25

= 11.025 ≈ 11 m

Thus, the height of the bridge is approximately 11 m
