    Given that,

    mass of ball, m = 11 lbs

    Time, t = 1.0 seconds

    Acceleration, a = 9.8 m/s²

    Distance, s = ?

    Since, we know that,

    S = Vi * t + 1/2 at²

    Since initial velocity is zero in this case (ball was at state of rest before falling to the ground)

    S = 1/2 * 9.8 * (1) ²

    S = 4.9 m

    The distance covered by ball after one second will be 4.9 m.
