nice problem :)
you're going to find the acceleration due to gravity !! good luck !

ganeshie8 · Answer

$\large    d = 0.5gt^2 $

ganeshie8 · Answer

to solve, is to isolate

so just isolate $g$ by dividing $0.5t^2$ both sides

anonymous · Answer

Sooooooo? will it be um , 0.5t2/g

ganeshie8 · Answer

$\large   d = 0.5gt^2$

divide 0.5t^2 both sides

$\large   \frac{d}{0.5t^2} = g$

$\large   g = \frac{d}{0.5t^2}$ -------------------(1)
