the distance that an object falls when it is dropped varies directly as the square of the amount of time that has passed since it was dropped. An object falls 39.2 meters in 2 seconds. Find the distance the object falls in 5 seconds.
thanks in advance.
thanks in advance.

You set up this equation;
39.2;2 = x;5
39.2*5 = 2x
196 = 2x
196/2 =2/2 x
98 = x
39.2;2 = x;5
39.2*5 = 2x
196 = 2x
196/2 =2/2 x
98 = x

Sounds like a physics question...sorry dont know it off the top of my head, but look for the distance equation off of google dealing with physics
