Answer to Question 1

The values of t are squared, whereas in calculating g the values of d are not.

Answer to Question 2

Yes. The force of gravity is always acting vertically downward, and the acceleration
is always in the direction of the unbalanced force.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
