Steps to help explain would  be appreciated.

amistre64 · Answer

develop the formula for position with regards to teh acceleration of gravity

amistre64 · Answer

if it hasnt been given to you already that is

anonymous · Answer

Hmm let me see if I've been given it.

anonymous · Answer

Um, no it does not appear I have it anywhere in the directions or my notes.

anonymous · Answer

How does one go about developing it?

amistre64 · Answer

is this a calculus course?

anonymous · Answer

No physics

amistre64 · Answer

physics provides the equation ...

h = 1/2 g t^2  for a body falling under the influence of gravity alone

amistre64 · Answer

do you know any calculus?

anonymous · Answer

Ah ok. So I plug in the information I already have into this equation?

anonymous · Answer

and no I do not. XD Wish I did though.

amistre64 · Answer

then my explanation of how we get to that equation would not mean much im afraid

yeah, plug in yout time, t, value ... and whatever value you use for gravity, g.
