Question

To prove that objects of different weights fall at the same rate, Galileo dropped two objects with different weights from the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy. The objects hit the ground at the same time. When an object is dropped from a tall building, it falls about 16 feet in the first second, 48 feet in the second second, and 80 feet in the third second, regardless of its weight. How many feet would an object fall in the tenth second?

Answer 1

There is a pattern of 1(16) for 1 second, 3(16) for 2 seconds, 5(16) for 3 seconds, an so on....you can make a sequence to be an=(2t-1)16....to evaluate at 10 gives (2*10 - 1)16 \[= 304 ft \ falling \ IN \ the \ 10th \ second\]

Answer 2

Is that okay

Answer 3

yes thanks u are very good in math in fast!!
