You can put this solution on YOUR website! Approximately how far will an object fall in 4 seconds, if it is thrown downward at an initial velocity of 20 meters per second (v0) from a helicopter
-------------------
In metric units, the acceleration of gravity is ~ 9.8 m/sec/sec
v = initial speed = -20 m/sec
s = (at^2)/2 + vt
s = 4.9*16 + 20*4
s = 158.4 meters
