Question
An object falling from rest reaches a speed of __________ m/s after falling 5 seconds. (Ignore air resistance.) At this time it has fallen __________ m.
Step 1
Step 1: The speed of an object in free fall is given by the equation $V = V_0 + gt$, where $V_0$ is the initial speed, $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity, and $t$ is the time. Show more…
