5 m/s²
Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions
An object is in free fall. What is its acceleration?
Steps
Concepts
Step 1: Understand that free fall means the object is falling without any other forces acting on it, like air resistance.
Step 2: Recognize that the only force acting on the object in free fall is gravity.
Step 3: Know that the acceleration due to gravity near the Earth's surface is approximately 9.8 meters per second squared (m/s²).
Step 4: Conclude that since the object is in free fall, its acceleration is 9.8 m/s².
Free Fall
– An object in free fall experiences acceleration due to gravity, which is approximately 9.8 m/s² near the Earth's surface.
Acceleration due to Gravity
– The constant acceleration experienced by an object when falling freely under the influence of gravity.
