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.
