The multiflash photograph in the accompanying figure shows two balls falling from rest. The vertical rulers are marked in centimeters. Use the equation s = 490t² (the freefall equation for s in centimeters and t in seconds) to answer the following questions.

a. How long did it take the balls to fall the first 160 cm? What was their average velocity for the period?

b. How fast were the balls falling when they reached the 160-cm mark? What was their acceleration then?

c. About how fast was the light flashing (flashes per second)?
