To solve the problem of finding the height of the bridge from which a stone is dropped into a river, we can use the second equation of motion. Here are the steps to find the solution: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Information**: - Time taken (t) = 5 seconds - Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s (since the stone is dropped) - Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s² (approximate value) ...
