Neglecting air resistance, the object will accelerate at 9.8m/s every second. So 9.8 m/s after 1 second, 19.6m/s after two, and so forth.

The formula for this is a=(v-u)/t. u, the initial velocity is 0 as we are dropping, not throwing, it, and solving for v, gives v=at, or velocity = acceleration * time, where the acceleration is 9.8 m/s/s.

for reference, 60 miles an hour is between 27 and 28 m/s.

In the real world, after a few seconds, air resistance becomes large enough to make this simple stuff inaccurate, although it remains valid for heavy objects like cannonballs most of the time. The calculation of air resistance is no simple task

How many miles are equal to 1 minute?

It depends on how fast you are going. To go a mile in 1 minute, you must be going 60 miles per hour. If you are going as fast as light, you will travel about 11176944 miles in 1 second.


How fast an object is going in a given direction?

An object's speed in a given direction is its velocity. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction. It describes how fast and in which direction an object is moving.


Why does the hammer and feather theory work on the moon and not on earth'?

In simple theory any object will accelerate downwards at the same rate after being dropped. But, if you try it, the air gets in the way and stops a feather falling as fast as a hammer. On the Moon there is no air so everything falls at the same rate (which is 1/6 as fast as on the Earth.

A quantity that tells how fast an object is moving and which way its going?

Velocity is the quantity that describes both the speed and direction of an object's motion. It is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude (speed) and direction. Velocity is different from speed, which only describes how fast an object is moving.


How are average speed and instantaneous speed alike?

Average speed and instantaneous speed are both measurements of the speed of an object. The instantaneous speed measures how fast the object is going at a particular moment, while average speed shows how fast the object was moving in total over time.


How fast is 40 meters per second?

The answer is in the question. 40 m/s is how fast it is going. This means in one second, the object has traveled 40 meters. Relatively fast compared to walking or driving.
