Question 1071642: - The distance, s, that an object falls is directly proportional to the square of the time, t , of the fall. If an object falls 16 feet in 1 second, how far will it fall in 2 seconds?
- How long will it take an object to fall 400 feet?
- direct variation = where the first step is to find the constant, and I'm unsure of how to set it up! Answer by ikleyn(52816) (Show Source):

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. If an object falls 16 feet in 1 second, how far will it fall in 2 seconds? ---> = 16*4 = 64 feet.
2. - How long will it take an object to fall 400 feet? ---> t = = = 5 seconds.
