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 meters. Show all steps in your work.

what part are you having trouble with?

anonymous · Answer

Work:
d = 0.5gt^2
d/0.5t^2 = g
g = d/0.5t^2
t = 10 sec
d = 490 ft

Answer: 
g = 9.8 ft/sec² 

Is it right?
