d=16t%5E2

Where t = 4 sec,

d=+16%2A4%5E2
d=+16%2A16+=+256 feet

The distance in feet traveled by a falling object is given by the formula d+=+16t%5E2 is the time in seconds. find the distance an object falls in 4 seconds....

Step 1. Given

d+=+16t%5E2

Step 2. Given that t=4, substitute 4 into equation for d in Step 1.

d+=+16%284%29%5E2

d+=+16%2A16

d+=+196

Step 3. After 4 seconds, the object fell 196 feet.

I hope the above steps were helpful. Good luck in your studies!
