(48)
Rate

Calculate the total distance 'd' (in meters) a ball would travel after 's' seconds and starting velocity of 'v' (in m/s). "Please note that its not relative distance but total distance travelled"

gravity=10 m/s^2

Example: initial speed = +20, how long does the ball travel after 2.5 sec d=21.25
