how?

horsegirl27 · Answer

I'm confused how to do this problem, I wasn't sure so I just worked on it and did what I thought, but now I'm really confused :/

anonymous · Answer

You need to calculate g and you have to rearrange it in the formula in order to find it.

okkkkkkkkk............

anonymous · Answer

$$g=\frac{ 2*d }{ t^2 }$$
Got this?

horsegirl27 · Answer

Sort of.

oh wait, I think I posted the wrong work for the problem oops, let me give u what I actually had :P XD

anonymous · Answer

Right. The original formula is $$d=0.5g t^2$$ which can also be written as $$d=\frac{ g t^2 }{ 2 }$$. Agree?

horsegirl27 · Answer

ok, yeah that's what I had to start, do u want to see my real work lol?

anonymous · Answer

Yes, please.

horsegirl27 · Answer

d= 0.5gt^2
d/0.5=0.5/0.5gt^2
d/0.5= gt^2
d/0.5t^2=g

Is any of this correct?

anonymous · Answer

That is correct!
Just replace the values and get the answer, right?
