Answer:
1,700feet
Explanation:
If an object in free fall travels a distance s that is directly proportional to the square of the time t, this can be represented mathematically as;
S = kt²where;
k is the proportionality constant
K = s/t²
s1/t1²= s2/t2²= Sn/tn²= k for values of the distance and time. Using the formula
s1/t1² = s2/t2² where;
s1 is the falling distance in time t1 s2 is the falling distance in time t2
Given s1 = 1088feet, t1 = 8secs, s2 = ? t2 = 10secs
Substituting this value in the formula to get s2, we have;
1088/8²= s2/10²
64s2= 108800
s2 = 108800/64
s2 = 1,700feet
This means the object will fall a distance of 1,700feet in 10seconds
