    a) 13 seconds b) 130 m/s The formula for the distance an object moves while under constant acceleration is d = 1/2AT^2. So let's define d as 830 m, A as 9.8m/s^2, and solve for T 830 m = 1/2 9.8 m/s^2 T^2 830 m = 4.9 m/s^2 T^2 Divide both sides by 4.9 m/s^2 169.3878 s^2 = T^2 Take the square root of both sides 13.01491 s = T Since we only have 2 significant figures, round the result to 13 seconds which is the answer to the first part of the question. To find out how fast the marble is moving, just multiply T and A together 13 s * 9.8 m/s^2 = 127.4 m/s Since we only have 2 significant figures, round the result to 130 m/s.
