\"The distance that a freely falling body falls varies directly as the square of the time it falls. If a body falls 400 feet in 5 seconds, how far does it fall in 3 seconds?\"

\n" ); document.write( "d = kt^2
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"k\"
\n" ); document.write( "400 = k(5)^2
\n" ); document.write( "k = 400/25 = 16
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "d = 16t^2
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "how far does it fall in 3 seconds?\"
\n" ); document.write( "d = 16*(3^2)
\n" ); document.write( "d = 144 feet
