Problem 42689. Distance a ball travels after throwing vertically
Calculate the total distance 'd' (in meters) a ball would travel after 's' seconds and starting velocity of 'v' (in m/s). "Please note that its not relative distance but total distance travelled"
gravity=10 m/s^2
Example: initial speed = +20, how long does the ball travel after 2.5 sec d=21.25

A test case for s < v/10 is missing.

I think test cases 3 and 4 are wrong.
Case 3 (v=20, s=12.5) should have d=571.25
Case 4 (v=5, s=5) should have d=102.5

Specify the direction of initial velocity, is it vertical, or horizontal?
