The answer to this questios depends on what the force of gravity is where you are at.

On earth the force of gravity causes an acceleration of 9.81 meters/second2(32.2ft/s2).

With this information you can use the physics equation d=do+vot+1/2at2, where:

d: distance the rock has travelled

do: initial distance of rock

vo: initial velocity(speed) of the rock

a: acceleration of rock(in this instance due to gravity)

t: time being considered.

For you question we will assume the rock was initially at rest and that the rock will not hit ground in 4.5 seconds. The equation then becomes d=0+(0*4.5)+(0.5*9.81*4.52).

solving for d you will get d=99.4 meters or 326.0 feet
