3 Galileo's formula describing the motion of a freely falling object is d = 1612. The distance d in feet that an object falls depends on the time t elapsed, in seconds.
(a) Use Galileo's formula and complete the following table.
tin seconds 0 1
5
d in feet
0 16
784
(b) When t= 0, it can be found that d = 0. Explain this in the context of the problem.

(b) When t= 0, it can be found that d = 0. Explain this in the context of the problem. Choose the correct answer below.
A. No time has elapsed, so the object is lying on the ground. Its distance (height above the ground) is O ft.
B. No time has elapsed, so the object has not fallen (been released) yet.
