Answer:

The value of f(2)≈1.57

The time it takes an object to fall 2 feet is 1.57 seconds.

Explanation:

Consider the provided function.


f(d) = 1.11√(d)

It takes for an object to fall a distance, d, in feet,

We need to determine f(2).

Substitute the value d = 2 in the above function.


f(2) = 1.11√(2)


f(2)\approx 1.57

The value of f(2)≈1.57

The time it takes an object to fall 2 feet is 1.57 seconds.
