Explanation Given information: A freely falling body will fall about 16 feet in the first second, 48 feet in the next second, 80 feet in the third second, 112 feet in the 4 t h second. It is given that, A freely falling body will fall about 16 feet in the first second, 48 feet in the next second, 80 feet in the third second, 112 feet in the 4 t h second. d 1 = 16 d 2 = 48 d 3 = 80 d 4 = 112 From above it is clear that distance increases by 32 feet in every second To determine (b) The distance travelled by free falling body after n seconds if a freely falling body will fall about 16 feet in the first second, 48 feet in the next second, 80 feet in the third second, 112 feet in the 4 t h second.
