Q: The acceleration of gravity means that for each second that passes, falling objects move 9.8m? A:True
2 answers:
Answer:
False
Explanation:
If the object covers 9.8 m every second then it has a constant velocity of 9.8 m/s
The acceleration implies that there is a change in velocity. With a constant acceleration the velocity will change linearly.
The distance traveled each second will not be a constant, it will be a quadratic function as mentioned above.

Here in this case we can use work energy theorem
As per work energy theorem
Work done by all forces = Change in kinetic Energy of the object
Total kinetic energy of the solid sphere is ZERO initially as it is given at rest.
Final total kinetic energy is sum of rotational kinetic energy and translational kinetic energy
also we know that
Now kinetic energy is given by
Now by work energy theorem
Work done = 10500 - 0 = 10500 J
So in the above case work done on sphere is 10500 J
