What happens when an object is dropped? A. Its velocity at 2 seconds is 19.6 m/s. B. Its velocity at 2 seconds is 22 mph. C. Its velocity at 2 seconds is 9.8 m/s. D. Its velocity at 2 seconds is 20 km/h.
I think it's either A or B. B because it is so fast, it does not stop.
@imqwerty
But at the same time I think it's A because I don't remember my teacher telling me it in Mph, it was always miles per second or m/s.
@just_one_last_goodbye, Kevin, please help me! :(
am I to late?
Not exactly, can you help me?
what lesson is this.
yes, what lesson is this

@whpalmer4
@AlexandervonHumboldt2 i'll give u a testimonial
i think it is A, i am not sure.
wait, there is nothing more given?
No, sir.
oh yeah, the velicity of free faling is 9.8. 9.8*2=19.6
i meant the acceleration
So the answer is A. Thanks, Shurik! :)
oh wow i got so confused in terms
Yes it is A
dropping an object from rest, the velocity will be \[v = gt\]where \(g = 9.8\text{ m/s}^2\) if you are working in SI units or \(g = 32.2\text{ ft/s}^2\) if working in US units.
