Question

2.The distance traveled by a falling object is given by the formula d = 0.5gt2 where d = distance, g = the acceleration due to gravity, and t = time. Solve this equation for g, and use your formula to determine the acceleration due to gravity if a baseball takes 10 seconds to hit the ground after being dropped from a height of 490 feet.

Answer 1

Ehm, first isolate the "g" term, so you will have
g= ...
Then replace t=10s
and d=490ft
