Question

Literal equation please help step by step!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 490 feet. Show all steps in your work.

Answer 1

@Hero

Answer 2

d = 490
g = 10

490 = 0.5g(10)^2

Finish solving for g

Answer 4

how do I solve for g :O and can ushow me how you got that! please @Hero

Answer 5

Well, they mentioned that the ball was dropped from 490 ft and they said it will hit the ground. The ground represents a height of zero. The distance from the ground to the height where the ball will be dropped from is 490 ft. So d = 490. Next they said it will take a time of 10 seconds for the ball to hit the ground so t = 10. So you plug those values in to the formula d = 0.5gt^2, then solve for g

Answer 6

To solve for g:

490 = 0.5g(10)^2
490 = (0.5)(100)g
490 = 50g
490/50 = g
9.8 = g

oh okay is that all I do ?
