The distance traveled by a falling object is given by the formula d = 0.5gt2 where d = distance, g = the force of gravity, and t = time. Solve this equation for g, and use your formula to determine the force of gravity if a baseball takes 10 seconds to hit the ground after being dropped from a height of 480 feet. Show all steps in your work.

Well 

d = (1/2) g (t)^2.

d = 480, t = 10, substitute these into the equation and find g.
