Makya was conducting a physics experiment. He rolled a ball down a ramp and calculated the distance covered by the ball at different times. The ball rolled a distance of 1 foot during the first second, 3 feet during the next second, and so on. If the distances the ball rolled down the ramp each second form an arithmetic sequence, determine the distance the ball rolled down during the fifteenth second
