Answer:
When an object is dropped, it accelerates toward the center of Earth. Newton's second law states that a net force on an object is responsible for its acceleration. If air resistance is negligible, the net force on a falling object is the gravitational force.
Answer:
-0.912 m/s
Explanation:
When the package is thrown out, momentum is conserved. The total momentum after is the same as the total momentum before, which is 0, since the boat was initially at rest.
where 
are the mass of the child, the boat and the package, respectively. 
are the velocity of the package and the boat after throwing.
Officials in the House of Representives have are able to serve a 2 year term and there are no limits as to how many terms.
For purposes of completing our calculations, we're going to assume that
the experiment takes place on or near the surface of the Earth.
The acceleration of gravity on Earth is about 9.8 m/s², directed toward the
center of the planet. That means that the downward speed of a falling object
increases by 9.8 m/s for every second that it falls.
3 seconds after being dropped, a stone is falling at (3 x 9.8) = 29.4 m/s.
That's the vertical component of its velocity. The horizontal component is
the same as it was at the instant of the drop, provided there is no horizontal
force on the stone during its fall.
