Question

If a 2 kg object is falling at 3 m/s at what rate is gravity working on the object

Answer 1

Answer:

+9.8m/s^2

Explanation:

The rate of gravity of the object is constant thriughout the surface of the earth.

For falling object, the rate of gravity is positive since the body is coming down (falling)

The rate of gravity is negative if the body is going up

The constant value for acceleration due to gravity is 9.8m.s^2

Since the object is falling, hence the acceleration due to gravity is positive.

Rate of gravity working on the object will be +9.8m/s^2
