Question

Assume a freely falling object were somehow equipped with a speedometer on a planet where the acceleration due to gravity is 20 meters per square second. By how much would its speed reading increase each second?

Answer 1

the velocity will increase 20 m/sec each second

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given that the acceleration due gravity is
`g=20m/sec^2`

We have to find the increase in the speed each second

We know that acceleration is nothing but rate of change of velocity as it changes
`20m/sec^2` so the speed will also changes with 20 m/sec

For proper understanding

As the object is falling freely so initial velocity u =0 m/sec

Acceleration due to gravity
`g=20m/sec^2`

Time - 1 sec

From first law of motion

`v=u+gt=0+20* 1=20m/sec`
