When an object is dropped, the number of feet N that it falls is given by the formula N = ½gt2 where t is the time in seconds from the time it was dropped and g is 32.2. If it takes 5 seconds for the object to reach the ground, how many feet does it fall during the last 2 seconds?
(1) 64.4 (2) 96.6 (3) 161.0 (4) 257.6

i guess the answer is 257.6 feet...

i simply used the formula N= 1/2gt2
logic : distance travelled in 5 sec - distance travelled in 3 sec will give me distance travelled in last 2 sec.

the correct answer is 257.6 feet
Solution is:
1/2g{(5)2-(3)2}
=(16.1)*(25-9)
=(16.1)*(16)
=257.6feet
