A dropped object only fall 5 meters down after 1 second of freefall, yet achieve a speed of 10m/s due to acceleration due to gravity.

s = vt - 1 / 2 at²

s = Displacement

v = Final velocity

t = Time

a = Acceleration

s = 5 m

t = 1 s

a = 10 m / s²

5 = ( v * 1 ) - ( 1 / 2 * 10 * 1 * 1 )

5 = v - 5

v = 10 m / s

The equation used to solve the given problem is an equation of motion. In a free fall motion, usually air resistance is not considered for easier calculation. If air resistance is considered acceleration cannot be constant throughout the entire motion.

Therefore, a dropped object only fall 5 meters down after 1 second of freefall, yet achieve a speed of 10m/s due to acceleration due to gravity.

Lapatulllka [165]

Let's calculate the average acceleration. It is the rate of changing speeds. Hence, we need to calculate the difference of speeds. 10-6=4 m/s. The rate is now $\frac{4m/s}{2s} =2m/s^2$ .
In general, the formula for the mean acceleration between two times 1 and 2 is given by:
$\frac{u_2-u_1}{T}$ where v1 and v2 are the speeds at the respective points and T is the time interval between them.
