What is the velocity of a freely falling object 6 seconds after being dropped?
Wiki User
∙ 14y ago
The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 meters/sec2 .
After 6 seconds, the object's speed is (6 x 9.8) = 58.8 meters/sec .
It's velocity is 58.8 meters per second downward.

∙ 12y agoAn object that's falling "freely" has no final velocity. The longer it falls, the faster it goes.
An object falling through air is not falling "freely", because the friction between it
and the air acts as if there were a force acting on it, opposite to the direction in
which it's moving. We call that firce "air resistance".
The faster the object moves, the stronger the force of air resistance grows. Eventually,
it becomes equal to the object's weight, whereupon the object has reached its final
velocity and stops accelerating.
It's not possible to know what that speed is, because it depends on the object's
shape and weight.

∙ 10y agov = gt g = acceleration due to gravity about (10m/s^2) and t = time (in this case 15s) so v = (10m/s^2)(15s) = 150m/s

What is the velocity of freely falling objects 5 seconds after being dropped?
5*9.8 = 49 metres per second.
What changes in a freely falling body?
Velocity
What is the effect of the mass of freely falling body on gravitational acceleration?
No effect whatsoever. Any two freely falling bodies fall with the same acceleration when dropped in the same place on the same planet. That includes any two objects falling on Earth. Someone is sure to jump in here and point out that objects with different mass don't fall with equal accelerations on Earth, and that's because of air resistance. They may even go on to provide answers to other questions that were not asked, such as a treatise on terminal velocity. All of that is true, even if confusing. This question stipulated that the bodies in question are "freely fallling". Bodies that are falling through air are not freely falling.
How far will a freely falling object fall from rest in 4 seconds?
78.46 meters (257.4 feet)
A stone falls freely from rest. What is its velocity after 8 seconds?
78.4 m/s
What is the velocity of freely falling objects 5 seconds after being dropped?
5*9.8 = 49 metres per second.
What is the distance covered by a freely falling object 5 seconds after it is dropped from rest?
0.7848 meter
If a ball that is freely falling has attained a velocity of 19.6 meters per second after 2 seconds. What is its velocity five seconds later?
A freely falling Ball has the acceleration of 9.8 m/s/s so after 5 seconds its velocity will be: t=5s a=9.8m/s/s v=5s * 9.8m/s/s =49 m/s

Does the velocity of an object increase when its falling freely in a vacuum?
It accelerates at a higher rate

What is the gain velocity per second for a freely falling object?
Impact velocity depends on the mass of the object and the height it falls from. It is the speed at which the acceleration due to gravity is maximized.
How far will a freely falling object dropped from rest in eight seconds?
Assuming the object free-falls, we may use:x = x0 + v0t + at2/2x0 = 0 (we determine it)v0t = 0 (dropped from rest).a = g = 10 m/st2 = 16s2.x = 10*16 / 2 = 80m.
What is speed of a freely falling object ten seconds after starting from rest?
98 meters (322 feet) per second.
What is the final velocity of a freely falling object?
The final speed of an object in free fall is known as terminal velocity. Terminal velocity on Earth can range from 54 meters per second (in SI units) to 90 meters per second based on aerodynamics.
