The instant it was dropped, the ball had zero speed.
After falling for 1 second, its speed was 9.8 m/s straight down (gravity).
Its AVERAGE speed for that 1 second was (1/2) (0 + 9.8) = 4.9 m/s.
Falling for 1 second at an average speed of 4.9 m/s, is covered <em>4.9 meters</em>.
ANYTHING you drop does that, if air resistance doesn't hold it back.
3.85 pounds is the answer
Divide
(the distance covered in some period of time)
by
(the time taken to cover the distance).
The quotient is the average speed during that period of time.
