Answer to Question #127455 in Physics for Oddyst Walker

Question

Six seconds after starting from rest, a freely-falling baseball has a speed of

Answer 1

The speed of the free falling object can be calculated using the following formula:

$$v = gt$$

where $t = 6s$ is the time and $g = 9.81 m/s^2$ is the gravitational acceleration.

Substituting the numerical values, obtain:

$$v = 9.81\cdot 6 = 58.86 m/s$$

Answer. v = 58.86 m/s
