A rock falls off a 15 meter cliff. How fast is the rock traveling vertically two seconds later?

The acceleration of gravity on Earth is 9.8 m/s². That means that
an object falling under the influence of gravity will move 9.8 m/s
faster than it was moving a second earlier.

Falling from rest, it will be moving 9.8 m/s after the first second,
and 19.6 m/s after the 2nd second.

The height from which it fell doesn't matter.

( 8c5p79) A certain force gives mass m1 an acceleration of 13.5 m/s2 and mass m2 an acceleration of 3.5 m/s2. What acceleration

Talja [164]

Answer:

$4.725 m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

We know that from Newton's second law of motion, F=ma hence making acceleration the subject then $a=\frac {F}{m}$ where a is acceleration, F is force and m is mass

Also making mass the subject of the formula $m=\frac {F}{a}$

For $m1= \frac {F}{13.5}$ and $m2=\frac {F}{3.5}$ hence $F=(m2-m1)a= (\frac {F}{3.5}-\frac {F}{13.5})a=0.2116402116\\\frac {1}{a}=0.2116402116\\a=4.725 m/s^{2}$
