The distance an object will fall when dropped can be found using the equation , where “d” is the distance in feet, “t” is the amount of time in seconds the object is falling, and “a” is the acceleration due to gravity, which is approx. 32 ft/s. a) Solve this equation for “”, using the value for “” given above.
b) Using your equation from part “a”, how much longer (to the nearest whole number) would it
take an object to reach the ground if dropped from a height of 300 feet than from a height of 180
feet?
