You can put this solution on YOUR website!
LET ME USE SYMOL S INSTEAD OF D FOR DISTANCE
\n" ); document.write( "S=4.9T^2
\n" ); document.write( "RATE OF CHANGE OF DISTANCE (MORE APPROPRIATE WORD IS RATE OF CHANGE OF
\n" ); document.write( "POSITION OR RATE OF DISPLACEMENT IN PHYSICS) IS VELOCITY.HOPE YOU ARE
\n" ); document.write( "TAUGHT DIFFERENTIATION..
\n" ); document.write( "V=DS/DT=4.9*2*T=9.8T
\n" ); document.write( "AT T= 2 SEC.,V=9.8*2=19.6 M/SEC.
\n" ); document.write( "AT T=5 SEC....V=4.9*5=24.5 M/SEC.
\n" ); document.write( "AVERAGE VELOCITY DURING THIS PERIOD=(19.6+24.5)/2=22.05 M/SEC.
\n" ); document.write( "S=4.9T^2=150 FOR THE OBJECT TO HIT THE GROUND
\n" ); document.write( "T=5.53 SEC
\n" ); document.write( "AT T= 5.53 SEC. V= 4.9*5.53=27.11 M/SEC.
