The answer to this question should be -2x
First, 9.8 (Gravity) times 3 (time) equals 29.4, which is the velocity after 3 seconds. The kinematic equation for change in position that uses the variables we have is:
delta x= (v)(t) -0.5(acceleration)(time)^2
delta x= 29.4 times (3) - 0.5 (9.8) times 9
delta x= 44.1
100 minus 44.1 equals 55.9, which is the answer for part a.

PART B:
The kinematic equation for this is:
delta x= (initial velocity) times time plus 0.5 (a)(time)^2
100=(0)times(x) plus 0.5 (a)(time)^2
100=0.5(9.8)(x)^2
100=4.9x^2
100/4.9 is approxamitely 20.4.
The squareroot of this is approxamitely 4.5.

Answer:
Ramon's mistake was that he used whole numbers in comparison to decimals, which is not an accurate way to solve. Think about it this way, 0.1 is the tens place, 0.01 is the hundreds place. Which would be greater 100% of the time? The hundreds place, in decimal terms, the hundredths.
0.09 is greater than 0.1
