For a freely falling object dropped from rest, what is the acceleration at the end of the fifth second of fall? The sixth second? At the end of any elapsed time t?

OpenStudy (sapphiremoon):

For any freely falling object, the acceleration at any point is going to be \[-9.8 \frac{ m }{ s ^{2} }\] from a reference frame where upwards is the positive direction. This is the acceleration due to gravity, and the only acceleration you'll ever use in a free fall problem. (It's not free fall otherwise).

OpenStudy (osprey):

The acceleration is always the same ????? g = 9.81m/s squared ... ??? http://perendis.webs.com
