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?

Respuesta :

Answer:

the velocity will increase 20 m/sec each second

Explanation:

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

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 [tex]20m/sec^2[/tex] 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 [tex]g=20m/sec^2[/tex]

Time - 1 sec

From first law of motion

[tex]v=u+gt=0+20\times 1=20m/sec[/tex]
