- Falling Distance
When an object is falling because of gravity, the following formula can be used to determine the distance the object falls in a specific time period:
d = 1/2 * g * t(squared)
The variables in the formula are as follows: d is the distance in meters, g is 9.8, and t is the amount of time, in seconds, that the object has been falling. Write a function named falling_distance that accepts an object's falling time(in seconds) as an argument. The function should return the distance, in meters, that the object has fallen during that time interval. Write a program that calls the function in a loop that passes the values 1 through 10 as arguments and displays the return value.
