the approximate distance, S, in feet that an object falls in t seconds when dropped from a height can be found by using the formula S=16t^2. How long will the object have fallen in 8 seconds?
To find out how long the object will have fallen in 8 seconds, we can substitute the value of t = 8 into the given formula.
S = 16t^2
S = 16 * (8)^2
S = 16 * 64
S = 1024
Therefore, the object will have fallen approximately 1024 feet in 8 seconds.
To find how long the object will have fallen in 8 seconds, we can use the given formula for the distance an object falls: S = 16t^2.
Given that the time is 8 seconds, we substitute t = 8 into the formula:
S = 16(8^2)
Now we calculate:
S = 16(64)
S = 1024 feet.
Therefore, the object will have fallen approximately 1024 feet in 8 seconds.
