    Here's a formula that's so useful, you should memorize it:

    Distance = (1/2) · (acceleration) · (time squared)

    On Earth, acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².

    Height of the bridge over the canyon =

    Distance the truck falls = (1/2) · (9.8 m/s²) · (33 sec) ²

    Distance = (4.9 m/s²) · (1,089 sec²)

    Distance = 5,336 meters
