Okay, so here is the question:
An object starts from rest and falls under the influence of gravity. Draw the distance it has fallen, as a function of time from t=0 to t=5.00. Ignore air resistance.

So I know that ignoring air resistance means that there is constant downward acceleration from gravity, with magnitude g = 9.8 m/(s^2). So a graph of the speed would just be a horiztonal line. But that is not what I need to find.

Please please help :D

do you have the formulas?
first determine what is given.  
delta t = 5 sec
Vi= 0
Vf =?
a= 9.8m/s^2
find d?                                                                                                                                                 
or , are you suppose to just draw V vs. t?

should be a line at constant acceleration.  |dw:1315457342287:dw|
