Answer:
True
Explanation:
When an object is falling under the influence of gravity, the distance of fall as a function of time is given by:
D(t)=ut + 1/2 * a * t^2
Where
u = initial velocity of the object ( = 0 in this case as the object is falling only under gravity),
a = acceleration of the falling object = g = 9.8 m/s^2 which represents the acceleration due to gravity.
Simplifying,
D(t) = 1/2 * g * t^2
