the distance d through which a stone falls from rest is proportional to the square of the time taken t. if the stone falls 45m in 3 seconds,how far will it fall in 6 seconds? how long will it take to fall 20m?

s = ut + (1/2)(at^2); u = 0 as stone is dropped from rest.
Therefore, s = (1/2)(9.81)(6)^2, acceleration due to gravity is 9.81.
--> s = (4.905)(36) = 176.58m = 177m to 3 s.f. -----> answer 1
let s = 20 --> 20 = (4.905)(t)^2
--> (t)^2 = (20)/(4.905) = 4.077
--> t = square root of (4.077) --> t = 2.019 sec = 2.02 sec to 3 s.f. -----> answer 2

am i right @jiteshmeghwal9
