It's not clear what you mean by the rate of the object, since objects don't have rates.

When an object is dropped, on or near the Earth's surface, its rate of acceleration

is 9.8 meters per second2, and its rate of speedincreases by 9.8 meters per second

every second that it continues to fall.

How does vertical acceleration change when an object is dropped?

When an object is dropped, its vertical acceleration remains constant at approximately 9.8 m/s^2, which is the acceleration due to gravity. This means that the object will continue to accelerate downwards at the same rate until it reaches its terminal velocity.

Why does an object dropped from a certain height have more than twice the speed of an object dropped from half the height of the previous object?

Because they undergo an acceleration. Free fall velocity is the function of a square.


What happens when an object is dropped?

When an object is dropped, it falls towards the ground due to the force of gravity acting on it. The object accelerates as it falls until it reaches the ground or another surface, where it comes to a stop.

Which object, a feather or a hammer, hits the ground first when dropped from the same height?

Both the feather and the hammer will hit the ground at the same time when dropped from the same height in a vacuum. This is due to the principle of gravity, which accelerates all objects at the same rate regardless of their mass.


What is the acceleration of the object in m/s/s when it is dropped from a height of 10 meters?

Is the rate at which an object changes velocity?

No, velocity is the instantaneous speed of an object, the rate of change would be the acceleration of the object.
