|The image on the side, spanning half a second, was captured with a stroboscopic flash at 20 flashes per second. During the first 1⁄20 of a second the ball drops one unit of distance (here, a unit is about 12 mm); by 2⁄20 it has dropped at total of 4 units; by 3⁄20, 9 units and so on. Check [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_for_a_falling_body here] for a more detailed description.

#In the first (1/20)th of a second, what is the distance travelled by ball?

Will the ball also attract the Earth and produce an acceleration?
