Question

An object is shot vertically upward from the ground with an initial velocity of 288 ft/sec. (a) At what rate is the velocity decreasing? Give units.

Answer 1

The rate at which an object shot vertically upwards is degresing is the accerelation due to gravity given by $g=9.8m/s^2$

Therefore, Given that an object is shot vertically upward from the ground with an initial velocity of 288 ft/sec, the rate at which the velocity decreasing is $g=9.8m/s^2$.
