document.write( "Question 188408: I have tried and tried these problems. I am in ninth grade and here is the question: when a skydiver jumped from an airplane, the time it takes to free fall a given distance can be estimated by the formula t= the square root of 2s/9.8, where t is in seconds and s is in meters. If Julie jumps from an airplane, how long will it take her to free fall 750 meters? \n" ); document.write( "

Is this the formula:
\n" ); document.write( "\"t+=+sqrt%282s%2F9.8%29\"? If so,
\n" ); document.write( "t is in seconds and s is in meters.
\n" ); document.write( "How long will it take her to free fall 750 meters?
\n" ); document.write( "\"t+=+sqrt%282%2A750%2F9.8%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"t+=+sqrt%281500%2F9.8%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"t+=+sqrt%28153.06%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"t+=+12.37\" sec
\n" ); document.write( "It will take her 12.37 sec to fall 750 m
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "check answer:
\n" ); document.write( "\"t+=+sqrt%282s%2F9.8%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"12.37+=+sqrt%282s%2F9.8%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "square both sides
\n" ); document.write( "\"153.06+=+2s%2F9.8\"
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by \"9.8\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2s+=+9.8%2A153.06\"
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by \"2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"s+=+1500%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"s+=+750\" m
\n" ); document.write( "OK
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
