Question

An object is released from a rocket moving upwards at a speed of 8.9 m / s.​

What is the downward acceleration of this object?

Answer 1

9.81 m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the upward speed of the object is 8.9 m/s.

An object is released.

Now, we know that if the object is released then it will move under the control of gravity which means that the initial velocity of the rocket will not affect the acceleration of the object.

Hence, the downward acceleration of the object will be equal to g i.e. 9.81 m/s².
