Question 418442
the distance an object will fall on the moon is directly proportional to the square of the time it falls.
 if an object falls 10.6 feet in 2 seconds, how far would an object fall in 3 seconds?
:
let x = distance it will fall in 3 sec
{{{10.6/x}}} = {{{2^2/3^2}}}
{{{10.6/x}}} = {{{4/9}}}
cross multiply
4x = 10.6 * 9
4x = 95.4
x = {{{95.4/4}}}
x = 23.85 ft in 3 sec
