Accelerating at a rate of (an additional) 32 feet per second, every second. So, for the first second, the object travels at 32 feet per second. A moment later, it's moving at 64 feet per second. By the time three seconds have elapsed, it's going 96 feet per second. At that point, round off to 100 feet per second, divided into 5200, and it's traveling about 1/50th of a mile in one second, or around 50 miles per hour (1/50th of a mile, times 60 seconds, is a little less than 1 mile in a minute, or just less than 60 MPH). Mighty fast. Look up "acceleration constant for falling objects"
As a point of interest there is a stage in which the falling object will not fall any faster than already stated above. This is called Terminal Velocity, when air resistance upon the object equals that of the force of gravity upon the object.

∙ 14y agoTake 32 ft/s² and break it down into (32 ft/s)/s
It means that every second, the speed of something is increasing by 32ft/s

the acceleration of gravity on earth at sea level is 32.2 feet per sec per sec

What is the temperature at which a gas changes into a liquid?
Every different liquid has a different boiling point. water boils at 32 degrees F. <actually most water freezes at 32 degrees. although there are remote places, such as where the first responder lives, where water appearantly both freezes and boils at 32 degrees. i personally avoid these places do to the fact that i prefer my laws of physics to stay intact.

How many liters are in 32gl?
If you mean how many litres in 32 Gigalitres, 32GL. 32 GL = 32 x 109 L = 32 000 000 000 If you mean how many litres in 32 gallons? 32 gallon = 32 x 3.785 = 121 L per 32 US gallons but 145 L per 32 UK gallons
