Hi there!
We can use the kinematic equation:

vf = Final velocity (? m/s)
vi = initial velocity (0 m/s, dropped from rest)
a = acceleration (due to gravity, 9.8 m/s²)
d = distance (9.8 m)
Simplify the equation to solve for vf:

Substitute in the given values:

Answer:
B
Explanation:
if you sit up straight you will have a proper posture
In empty space probably means, there is no force on the ball.
(This assumption is not quite correct since there is still the force of gravity between the ball and the astronaut, but this force is very very small and can be neglected.)
Assuming there is no force on the ball, Newtown's 1st law says: When viewed in an internal frame of reference, an object either remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by a force.
This means:
If there is no force on the ball, there will be no acceleration on the ball either.
If the acceleration is zero, the velocity of the ball never changes.
"Never become laws; based on strong scientific support; may change based on evidence" is the one answer among the following choices given in the question that correctly <span>summarizes the essential elements of a scientific theory. he correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the third option or option "C". </span>
