  7. * Program Function computes how far an object falls under 
  8.  
  9. * gravity between 1 and 10 seconds using this formula: 
  10.  
  11. * Computation is based on the formula:

  14.  
  15. * d = 1/2 * g * t^2 
  16.  
  17. *

  19. * Where: 
  20.  
  21. *       d = distance in meters 
  22.  
  23. *       g = acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²) 
  24.  
  25. *       t = time in seconds
