An automated drone measures the depth of a canyon. It drops a stone and measures the time tt it takes to hear the splash at the bottom. The depth is modeled by d=16t2+1100td = 16t^2 + 1100t (accounting for the speed of sound) - wait, this is not standard. Let's use the standard formula for falling object distance d=4.9t2d = 4.9t^2. If a stone falls for 44 seconds, what distance does it travel?
