You can put this solution on YOUR website! A ball is dropped from a building. The distance, D metres, that it falls in t seconds is given by
D=5t^2
a. Find the distance fallen in 3 seconds
Sub 3 for t
D = 5*3^2 = 45 meters
---------------
B. Find the time to fall 100 metres
100 = 5t^2
t^2 = 20
t =~ 4.472 seconds
