The table below shows the distance 
in feet a ball rolls down an inclined plane in 
seconds.
![\[\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|}\hline t & 0 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5\\ \hline s & 0 & 10 & 40 & 90 & 160 & 250\\ \hline\end{tabular}\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/4/6/8/4688fffd4c2b1d8e1af133c2b756c657e25e5438.png)
The distance for 
is:
Solution
Looking at the pattern, we can determine that 
. Applying the relationship, we can see that 
when 
.
