Question

Problem 11a

Answer 1

Given information

We are given that:-

There is a freely falling object.

And air resistance is ignored. 

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.

If air resistance is negligible, the acceleration of a freely falling object stays the same as the object falls toward the ground. That acceleration is .

Note that the object’s speed increases, but since that speed increases at a constant rate, the acceleration is constant.
