On Earth, it increases by 32.2 feet per second every second... the acceleration due to gravity. There's a metric measure too... just convert it yourself.

Change in speed?

change in speed is acceleration. change in speed is the slope of the speed versus time graph, or the derivative of such.


What happens to the density of an object as its speed increase?

As the speed of an object increases, its density remains constant. Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume, and it does not change with the object's speed.


Meanning of accelaration?

Acceleration is the rate of change of an object's velocity with respect to time. It describes how quickly an object's speed is changing, either slowing down (deceleration) or speeding up. It is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude (how much the speed is changing) and direction.


If an object is moving at a constant speed in one direction what is needed to change its speed or direction?

To change the speed or direction of an object moving at a constant speed, a force must be applied in the opposite direction of its motion to slow it down and a force must be applied in the desired direction of its new path to change its direction. The magnitude and direction of the force will determine how much the speed or direction changes.


When you know both the speed and direction of an object's while it is in motion do you know the acceleration of the object?

Not necessarily. Knowing an object's speed and direction of motion does not automatically provide information about its acceleration, which is the rate of change of velocity. Acceleration depends on how much the velocity is changing over time, which might not be evident just from knowing the initial speed and direction.

What equation is used to caculated the velocity of a falling object?

If the object is falling in vacuum, then its direction is downward, and its speed at any time is Speed = (speed when time started) + [(acceleration of gravity) x (number of seconds since time started)]. If the object is falling through air, water, or some other fluid, then the formula is much, much more complicated. It involves the object's mass and shape, and the properties of the fluid it's falling in.


What is the maximum terminal velocity speed for a object falling on planet Jupiter?

There is not one single answer for that. The terminal velocity of an object will depend on the amount of gravity (which wouldn't change much in this case), on the density of the atmosphere (which WILL change quite a bit, depending on what part of the atmosphere you are considering), and on the object's mass, size, and shape.


What is the fastest free falling object known to man-is it a rain drop which is liquid or a solid object like a bb?

Everything falls at the same speed so there is no free falling object If everything falls at the same speed then everything is a free falling object... Air resistance or deflection controls the falling speed of any object, this crucial stipulation determines falling speed. I leanred this in flight school.. please someone intelligent communicate with me?

How much gain in speed each second does a freely falling object acquire?

That depends on many different factors, the two most obvious ones being friction and gravity. If the object is completely frictionless, and falling at 9.8m/s2 (an approximation of the average acceleration from Earth's gravity), then it would gain 9.8m/s in speed with each second that passes. If on the other hand it was falling in a frictionless environment on Jupiter, it would gain approximately 24.79 m/s.


How much does the earth gravity cause an object to accelerate?

The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is approximately 9.81 meters per second squared. This means that for every second an object is in free fall near the surface of the Earth, its speed increases by 9.81 meters per second.


State the difference between the speed and velocity?

Speed is a scalar quantity with out direction, velocity is a vector quantity with a direction, The magnitude of a velocity, |V| is its speed. So all velocities have a speed, including a speed of zero.


When is kentic energy the greatest?

An object has the most kinetic energy when it is moving at its maximum speed. Kinetic energy is directly proportional to an object's mass and the square of its velocity, so as speed increases, so does kinetic energy.
