A bowling ball rolls down a lane at 9 m/s. If the ball can reach the pins 3 seconds later, how long is the lane?

What is 27m?

100
This is the motion for any object that is in free fall. 

What is accelerating downwards?

200

Based on the graph below, the object has traveled this far after 7 seconds.

What is 1.3 m? x0=0.2m, x1=1.0m, and x2=0.5m, so total distance equals the difference between x1 and x0, x2 and x1, then adding both distances together.  0.8m + 0.5m = 1.3m.
