Problem 97
Use the following information. Scientists simulate a gravity-free environment called microgravity in free- fall situations. A similar microgravity environment can be felt on free-fall rides at amusement parks or when stepping off a high diving platform. The distance \(d\) (in meters) that an object that is dropped falls in \(t\) seconds can be modeled by the equation \(d=\frac{1}{2} g\left(t^{2}\right),\) where \(g\) is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 meters per second per second). The NASA Lewis Research Center has two microgravity facilities. One provides a 132 -meter drop into a hole and the other provides a 24 -meter drop inside a tower. How long will each free-fall period be?

A similar microgravity environment can be felt on free-fall rides at amusement parks or when stepping off a high diving platform. The distance \(d\) (in meters) that an object that is dropped falls in \(t\) seconds can be modeled by the equation \(d=\frac{1}{2} g\left(t^{2}\right),\) where \(g\) is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 meters per second per second). In Japan a 490 -meter-deep mine shaft has been converted into a microgravity facility. This creates the longest period of free fall currently available on Earth. How long will a period of free-fall be?

Problem 99
Use the following information. Scientists simulate a gravity-free environment called microgravity in free- fall situations. A similar microgravity environment can be felt on free-fall rides at amusement parks or when stepping off a high diving platform. The distance \(d\) (in meters) that an object that is dropped falls in \(t\) seconds can be modeled by the equation \(d=\frac{1}{2} g\left(t^{2}\right),\) where \(g\) is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 meters per second per second). If you want to double the free-fall time, how much do you have to increase the height from which the object was dropped?

Problem 100
Use the following information. Scientists simulate a gravity-free environment called microgravity in free- fall situations. A similar microgravity environment can be felt on free-fall rides at amusement parks or when stepping off a high diving platform. The distance \(d\) (in meters) that an object that is dropped falls in \(t\) seconds can be modeled by the equation \(d=\frac{1}{2} g\left(t^{2}\right),\) where \(g\) is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 meters per second per second). How are these formulas similar? \(d=\frac{1}{2} g\left(t^{2}\right)\) when \(d\) is distance, \(g\) is gravity, and \(t\) is time \(h=-16 t^{2}+s\) when \(h\) is height, \(s\) is initial height, and \(t\) is time
