Question

If you drop a toy sheep from the roof of a building 30 m high, how much does the magnitude of the velocity increase each second that it falls? PLEEAAASEEEEE HELP IM TAKING A PHYSICS FINAL AS WE SPEAK

Answer 1

See the explanation below

Step-by-step explanation:

No matter at what height a body is dropped, the body will always accelerate to the same reason, which corresponds to Earth's gravitational acceleration.

g = 9.81 [m/s²]

That is, in the first second the velocity is 9.81 [m/s] = 9.81 [m/s²] x 1 [s]

Now in the second 2; 19.62 [m/s²] = 9.81 [m/s²] x 2 [s]

And in the third second 29.43 [m/s²] = 9.81 [m/s²] x 3 [s]

And etc.
