Question

The acceleration of gravity on the moon is about1.6 m/sec2. A 2-kilogram object on the moon is

dropped from rest. After ten seconds, the speed of the object is:?

Answer 1

The speed of the object after ten seconds is 16 m/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the speed of the object after ten seconds, we can use the equation: final velocity = initial velocity + acceleration * time.

Given that the object is dropped from rest, the initial velocity is 0 m/s and the acceleration is 1.6 m/s². Plugging these values into the equation, we get: final velocity = 0 + 1.6 * 10 = 16 m/s.

Therefore, the speed of the object after ten seconds is 16 m/s.
