To solve this, we are going to use the distance of a free fallen object: [tex]d=0.5gt^2[/tex] where [tex]d[/tex] is the distance [tex]g[/tex] is the gravity of the Earth [tex]32.17ft/s^2[/tex] [tex]t[/tex] is the time in seconds
We know from our problem that Pete slid a domino off a bridge and it took 2.3 seconds to hit the Gully below, so [tex]t=2.3[/tex]. Lets replace that value in our formula to find [tex]d[/tex]: [tex]d=0.5gt^2[/tex] [tex]d=0.5(32.17)(2.3)^2[/tex] [tex]d=85.1[/tex] feet
How can conclude that the domino fell a distance of 85.1 feet.
