To solve the problem of finding the acceleration of a ball dropped freely from rest, which travels a distance of 55 meters in the 6th second of its journey, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We know that the ball is dropped from rest, meaning its initial velocity (u) is 0 m/s. We need to find the acceleration (a) given that the distance traveled in the 6th second is 55 m. ### Step 2: Use the Formula for Distance in the nth Second The distance traveled in the nth second can be calculated using the formula: \[ S_n = u + \frac{1}{2} a (2n - 1) \] ...
