Formula:
A.
S = V1(t) + 0.5gt^2
Initial velocity = 0
1472 ft = 0 + 0.5(32 ft/s^2)(t)^2
t = sqrt((1472)/((0.5)(32))
t = 9.59 seconds


B.
V2 = V1 +gt
V1 = 0
V2 = 32ft/s^2X9.59 s
V2 = 306.88 ft/s

2.a ) If S.I: 9.8m/s^2, If English : 32 ft/s^2
b) s = 0.5gt^2
S.I :
s = 0.5(9.8)(3)^2
s = 44.1 m
English
s = 0.5(32)(3)^2
s= 144 ft
c) s = 0.5gt^2
70 = 0.5(9.8)(t)^2
t = sqrt((70)/(0.5X9.8))
t = 3.77 seconds
d)V2 = gt
25 = (9.8)(t)
t = 25/9.8 = 2.55 seconds
e) s= 0.5gt^2
300 = 0.5(9.8)(t)^2
t = sqrt((300)/(0.5X9.8))
t = 7.82 seconds

1.)
a.) t =√(2s/g) = √((2)(1472)/(32)) = 9.592 s
b.) v = at = gt = (32)(9.592) = 306.93 ft/s
2.)
a.) 9.8 m/s
b.) s = .5gt^2 = (.5)(9.8)(3^2) = 44.1 m
c.) t = √(2s/g) = √(2(70)/9.8) = 3.7796 s
v = at = gt = 9.8(3.7796) = 37.04 m/s
d.) t = v/a = 25/9.8 = 2.551s
e.) t = √(2s/g) = √((2)300/9.8) = 7.8246s
