/* When an object is falling because of gravity, the following formuJa can be

used to determine the distance the object falls in a specific time period:
d = .5* g * t^2
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 fallingDistance that accepts an object's falling time (in
seconds) as an argument. The function should return the distance, in meters, tha
t the
object has fallen during that time interval. Write a program that demonstrates t
he
function by calling it in a loop that passes the values 1 through 10 as argument
s,
and displays the return value.
