In this question I really dont understand what other things you know in this question besides the 2m/sec.? Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hint: The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s^2 (ie every second, a falling object speeds up by 9.8 m/s). Hopefully, this is mentioned in your book. So the equation that models the height of the helmet is where 'x' is the time and 'y' is the height.
