The distance (d) a free falling object falls is directly proportional to the square of the time (t) it falls. If an object fell 400 feet in 15 seconds, how far will it have fallen by the end of 10 seconds?
***
(10/15)^2*400
100/225*400=177.78
how far will it have fallen by the end of 10 seconds? 177.78 ft
