Question

A egg is dropped from the roof of a building. the distance it falls varies directly with square of the time it falls. if it takes 1/2 second for the egg to fall eight feet, how long will it take the egg to fall 200 feet?​

Answer 1

12.5 seconds

Explanation:

divide 200 by eight (which would give you the abount of half seconds)and divide by 2

Answer 2

12.5 seconds

Explanation:

Find the time it takes the egg to travel in 1 second

1/2 second=8 feet

x 2 x 2

1 second=16 feet

Create a proportion:

(x represents time in this equation)

16 feet :1 second=200 feet: x seconds

-solve with cross products

x=12.5
