If a freely falling rock were equipped with a speedometer, by how much would itd speed readings increase with each second if it

were on a planet wreg=20m/s2?
Physics

" 20 m/s² " means that if gravity is the ONLY force on the object
(the object is in 'free fall'), then its speed increases by  20 m/s
every second.

That's the answer to your question.  Now, let me ask you
another one:

How does a speedometer tied to a falling rock work ?
How can it measure the rock's speed ?

Maybe one way would be to have a little tiny propeller on
the front of the speedometer, and it could measure how fast
the propeller is spinning as the rock falls through the air ?
Great idea.  But we already said the rock is in free-fall,
so there's no air resistance, we can't have any air, and
there's nothing to spin the propeller.

How would you do it ?  How can you measure the rock's speed ?

Which parameter best defines the primary difference between weather and climate?
LenKa [72]

Answer:

time

Explanation:

weather is the atmospheric condition of a place over a short period of time, while climate is the weather condition prevailing in an area over a long period of time. From the two definitions above we can see that weather is the condition over a short period of time while climate is over longer periods, therefore the primary difference between them is time.

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

1.85c

Explanation:

a photon moves at c, the electron is moving at 0.85c, and since they are moving in opposing directions, the relative speed would be 1.85c
