On the surface of the moon, astronomers notice that the distance traveled by an object falling freely is proportional to the square of the time passed after the release of the object. If the object travels 3.2 meters in 2 seconds, how many seconds would it take to travel 15 meters?

As you are driving to school one day, you pass a construction site of a new building and you stop to watch for a few minutes. A crane is lifting a batch of bricks on a pallet to an upper floor of the building. Suddenly a brick falls off the rising pallet. You measure the time it takes for the brick to hit the ground and you find it to be 2.5 seconds. The crane has height markings. You saw the brick fell off the pallet at a height of 30.7 meters above the ground. A falling brick can be dangerous, and you wonder how fast the brick was moving when it hit the ground. Since you are taking physics, you quickly calculate the answer.

A Ferris wheel has a radius of 10 m, and the bottom of the wheel passes 1 m above the ground. If the Ferris wheel makes one complete revolution every 18 s, find an equation that gives the height above the ground of a person on the Ferris wheel as a function of time. (Let y be the height above the ground in meters and let t be the time in seconds. Assume that when t = 0 the person is 11 m above the ground and going up.) y = 10 m -1 m
