If you need to include the effects of air resistance, then the answer is more complicated

than you want to deal with.

If you're satisfied to ignore air resistance, then the weight doesn't make any difference. We've known

for the past 600 years that without air resistance, all objects fall the same. Where have you been ?

An object that falls from a height of 'H' hits the ground at a speed of sqrt(2GH).

If 'H' is in meters, then the speed is sqrt(19.6H) meters per second.

If 'H' is in feet, then the speed is sqrt(64.4H) feet per second.

speed equals distance divided by time (S = d/t) speed equals distance divided by time (S = d/t) speed equals distance divided by time (S = d/t)

When work is not done to an object?

The object continues moving in a straight line at its current speed.

Can you work out the speed of an object by using mass and distance?

An object's speed is (distance it travels) divided by (time to cover the distance). The object's mass doesn't matter at all.


Is velocity the speed of an object and its direction of motion?

Yes, without the direction it is just speed


Can speed travel in what density?

It doesn't work that way. For a start, speed doesn't travel. Rather, an object travels at a certain speed.


What is the difference between an object's speed and a object's velocity?

The difference between an object's speed and an object's velocity is that the object's speed is how fast it is going, and the object's velocity is how many units of speed the object has traveled.

What term describes the amount of energy a moving object has?

An object's kinetic energy is energy entirely due to its motion. The kinetic energy of an object, at some given speed, is the work needed to accelerate that body from rest to the given speed.


Explain how frictional force is used to reduce the speed of a moving object?

Friction is a force that always acts in a direction opposite to that of motion. So the frictional force does negative work on the velocity of an object ( thus reducing the speed of an object).


Speed of an object at one instant of time is the objects speed is?

Speed of an object at one instant of time is the object's instantaneous speed.(Not velocity.)
