Suppose an object, like a rock or a ball, is dropped from a height above the ground. As the object falls its downward velocity increases. This means that for each period of time, the object falls, the distance it has fallen also increases. The relationship between the distance the object falls and the time it has fallen (neglecting air resistance )

A person working on the roof of a two-story house drops a paintbrush. It is 35 feet to the ground. When the brush falls, the worker on the roof shouts "Look Out!". A 6 feet tall person is standing directly below where the brush falls. If the reaction time needed for the person on the ground to move away is 1.85 seconds, will they be hit by the paintbrush before they can move out of the way
