If you fall from a very considerable height then initially the distance that you fall will increase with each second that you fall. However, air resistance increases markedly with speed and this causes your acceleration to decrease so that you reach a maximum speed (terminal velocity)

How would the distance the car travels each second change if it were slowing down?

In that case, each second the distance travelled will be less than the second before that.


Does a falling stone travel te same distance each second it falls?

No. Since the speed of a falling object keeps increasing, it falls through more distance in each second than it did in the second before.


How would the distance a car travels each second change if it's slowing down?

If a car is slowing down, the distance it travels each second will decrease. The rate at which the car covers distance will diminish as the car decelerates.


What is the distance an object travels each second for objects falling under constant acceleration?

For objects falling under constant acceleration (such as gravity), the distance an object travels each second is determined by the formula d = 0.5 * a * t^2, where "d" is the distance, "a" is the acceleration, and "t" is the time in seconds. This means that the distance traveled each second will increase quadratically as time passes.

If a ball falls freely is the distance it falls each second the same?

No. When the ball falls, there are two forces acting on it; one is the gravitational force and the other air resistance, which is dependant on speed. At the point it is released. Its instantaneous speed is 0m/s The next second, 10m/s, (result of acceleration). the ball will undergo decreasing acceleration. Thus the distance it falls each second is different.


When the distance between the earth and the sun is minimum?

The minimum distance between the Earth and the Sun occurs during perihelion, which is when the Earth is closest to the Sun in its elliptical orbit. This usually happens around January 3rd of each year.

If a wave vibrates up and down twice each second and travels a distance of M each second what is its Wave speed?

The wave speed is equal to the frequency multiplied by the wavelength. In this case, since the wave vibrates up and down twice per second (frequency = 2 Hz) and travels a distance of M each second, its wave speed would be 2M/s.
