You visit the grand canyon And drop a penny off the edge of a cliff the distance The penny will fall is 16 feet the first second 48 feet the next second 80 feet the third second and so on in an arithmetic science how far from the cliff will the penny Be at 6 seconds after it initially dropped
Because 48 - 16 and 80 - 48 both equal 32, we know that the penny is falling at a continuous speed of 32 feet per second. All we have to do is multiply 32 by 6 (32 × 6 = 192) and we know that the penny will be 192 feet below the initial drop point.
