Question
The velocity 𝑣 of an object dropped from a tall building is given by the formula 𝑣 = 64𝑑,
where 𝑑 is the distance the object has dropped (in meters). If a falling object had an average
velocity of 98 meters per second, use the formula to determine approximately what distance it
was dropped. Round to the nearest whole number.

Given: 𝑣 = 64𝑑
Average velocity = 98 m/s
Substitute the average velocity value into the formula and solve for 𝑑:
98 = 64𝑑
𝑑 = 98/64
𝑑 ≈ 1.53125
Rounded to the nearest whole number, the object was dropped approximately 2 meters.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
c. 2 meters
Average velocity = 98 m/s
Substitute the average velocity value into the formula and solve for 𝑑:
98 = 64𝑑
𝑑 = 98/64
𝑑 ≈ 1.53125
Rounded to the nearest whole number, the object was dropped approximately 2 meters.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
c. 2 meters
