Answer 1

Answer:

The velocity and direction after 1 second is 8.1 m/s downwards

Explanation:

The equation of motion for an object in free fall can be written as follows;

v = u + g×t

Where;

v = The final velocity of the object

u = The initial velocity of the object = 0 m/s

g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

The velocity after one second is given by the velocity equation as follows;

v = 0 + 9.81 m/s² * 1 s = 9.81 m/s

The direction of the is downwards due to the attraction by the Earth's gravitational field which acts towards the Earth's center

Therefore, the velocity and direction after 1 second is 8.1 m/s downwards.
