Problem 51
Use the following information. Scientists use a state of free fall to simulate a gravity-free environment called microgravity. In microgravity conditions, the distance \(d\) (in meters) that an object that is dropped falls in \(t\) seconds can be modeled by the equation \(d=4.9 t^{2}\). In Japan a 490 -meter-deep mine shaft has been converted into a free-fall facility. This creates the longest period of free fall currently available on Earth. How long is a period of free fall in this facility? Solve the problem algebraically.
