The distance an object falls is directly proportional to the square of the time it has been falling.
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "d = k(t^2)
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "After 6 seconds it has fallen 1296 feet.
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"k\":
\n" ); document.write( "1296 = k(6^2)
\n" ); document.write( "k = 36
\n" ); document.write( "So the equation for this situation is d = 36t^2
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------------------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "How long will it take to fall 2304 feet?
\n" ); document.write( "2304 = 36t^2
\n" ); document.write( "t^2 = 64
\n" ); document.write( "t = 8 seconds
