Great start--1 ball in a bowl

The speed (velocity) a falling object reaches after any given amount of time can be calculated by multiplying the rate at which its velocity is increasing (32ft/sec2) by the length of time during which its velocity is increasing, in otherwords, the length of time it falls.

Velocity = Time x Accelleration
