While studying in the library, Katie's pen rolls off her book and down a tilted table. The path of the pen can be represented by a quadratic function with vertex (0,0), where x represents the time in seconds and y represents the distance in centimeters. If the pen has rolled 2 centimeters after 1 second, how far has it rolled after five seconds?

y=50 centimeters
