Here too when an object is dropped, we know the initial velocity is zero when in free fall. So V =g*t this implies V= 9.8 *5=49m/s..... do you get it?
The automobiles do have the same acceleration as the velocity the answer is yes ?
Complete question:
A force F is applied to the block as shown (check attached image). With an applied force of 1.5 N, the block moves with a constant velocity.
Approximately what applied force is needed to keep the box moving with a constant velocity that is twice as fast as before? Explain
Answer:
The applied force that is needed to keep the box moving with a constant velocity that is twice as fast as before, is 3 N
Force is directly proportional to velocity, to keep the box moving at the double of initial constant velocity, we must also double the value of the initially applied force.
Explanation:
Given;
magnitude of applied force, F = 1.5 N
Apply Newton's second law of motion;
F = ma

The applied force needed to keep the box moving with a constant velocity that is twice as fast as before;

Therefore, the applied force that is needed to keep the box moving with a constant velocity that is twice as fast as before, is 3 N
Force is directly proportional to velocity, to keep the box moving at the double of initial constant velocity, we must also double the value of the applied force.
Answer:

G= gravitational constant
F= Gravitational force
m= mass of object 1
M= mass of object 2
r= distance between two objects
