Write the equation of proportionality:
where k is the constant of proportionality.
First find the value of k by substituting the given values of s=1,024 feet and t=8 seconds.
Substitute this into the given function then you can solve the problem:
Substitute t = 12.
Evaluate.
feet.
The objct will fall 2304 feet in 12 seconds.
