Question 1050653: The distance that a free falling object falls is directly proportional to the square of the time it falls (before it hits the ground). If an object fell 45 ft in 7 seconds, how far will it have fallen by the end of 8 seconds? (Leave the variation constant in fraction form or round to at least 2 decimal places. Round your final answer to the nearest foot.)
