Yes I can! I shall now do so, ignoring the effects of air resistance:

During free fall, the direction of motion doesn't change. But the speed increases, steadily

and continuously.

The amount by which the speed increases each second is called the "acceleration of gravity".

On earth, the speed is 9.8 meters per second (32.2 ft per second) greater after each second

of free fall.

What are facts about the three types of motion?

An object in motion remains in motion unless acted upon by an unknown force objects in motion are affected by: -Gravity -Friction -Mass -Force -and other objects Objects in Freefall have a maximum velocity in freefall an object that is thrown straight up has no velocity during the middle of the time from it takes to toss and hit the ground. gravity is a constant 9.8m/s


How will you describe momentum?

Momentum is the speed or velocity of a moving object. It can be measured by either force of impact or air/water displaced during movement.


What is the definition of non uniform motion in physics?

During uniform motion, velocity is constant, so there is zero acceleration. Non-uniform motion involves a change in velocity, which means there is acceleration. Accelaration is a change in velocity. A change in velocity occurs when a body slows down, speeds up, or turns (changes direction), or a combination of these.


What is any change in velocity during a given length time?

Acceleration is any change in velocity during a length of time.


Does velocity equal acceleration x time?

Yes, sort of. At least, that's the units used. The actual definition of acceleration is: a = dv/dt In other words, the rate at which velocity changes. In the case of constant acceleration, that would be equal to a change in velocity, divided by the time interval during which this change takes place. In the case of non-constant acceleration, the acceleration, or rate of change of velocity, can of course change from one moment to another.

How many world records did Felix baumgartner break?

Felix Baumgartner set five world records during his supersonic freefall jump from the edge of space on October 14, 2012. He broke the records for the highest jump, highest manned balloon flight, longest freefall distance, highest freefall speed, and highest vertical velocity in freefall.

Fastes animal in the world?

The fastest animal on earth is the Peregrine falcon in a hunting dive. They have been clocked at over 200mph during such stoops. This is probably the bird's terminal velocity -- perfect freefall.
