Question

Due to gravity, an object falls 16t squared feet in t seconds. You drop a backpack from a window that is 60 feet above the ground. Will the backpack hit the ground in 2 seconds?

Answer 1

No

Explanation:

Since gravity falls at a rate of 16 feet per second, t= number of seconds.

if t=2 seconds, you would have the equation 16*2 = fall amount

16*2 =32. Since it is less than 60 feet, the backpack won't hit the ground in 2 seconds
