Answer:
h = 23.716 m
Explanation:
Given that,
The time taken by the stone to hit the water is, t = 2.2 s
Height of the bridge above the ground, h = ?
The distance that the body will fall through the time is given by the formula
S = 1/2 gt² m
Where,
g - acceleration due to gravity
Substituting the values in the above equation
S = 1/2 x 9.8 m/s² x (2.2 s)²
= 23.716 m
Therefore, the height of the bridge from the surface of the water is h = 23.716 m
