\"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( "s = kt^2 s = distance, k = a constant
\n" ); document.write( "400 = k*5^2 = 25k
\n" ); document.write( "k = 400/25 = 16
\n" ); document.write( "--> s = 16t^2
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "For 3 seconds:
\n" ); document.write( "s = 16*9
\n" ); document.write( "s = 144 feet \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
