Question

An object will take t seconds to drop d ft, where t = square root d/16
. What distance
will the object drop in square root 19/2
sec

Answer 1

\[t=\sqrt{d/16}\] We know the time, so plug it in for t and solve for d:
\[\sqrt{19/2} = \sqrt{d/16}\]
\[19/2 = d/16\]
\[d= (19)(16)/2 = 19(8)=152 ft\]
