So we are given a velocity 12 m/s and a distance of 65 m. We have to use two formulas to solve this problem: 1.) y=(1/2)(a)(t^2) and 2.) v=x/t. We use the first formula to solve this problem first. We plug in the givens of 65 m for y and the gravitational constant for a (9.81 m/s). We should get 65=(1/2)(9.81m/s)(t^2). We then want to solve for (t^2) in order to plug it into the second equation. When solved, t is around 3.642156795 s. We then plug the time and the velocity into the second formula giving us 12 m/s=x/( 3.642156795s). We solve for x and it should be equal to 43.7052 m or 44 m.

IF and only IF I'm right. A bridge surface will freee before a rooad surface most likely because of the metal used to make the bridge which will freeze the bridge structure and start forming on the road.
