The rate at which a falling object gains speed
|
|
acceleration due to gravity
|
|
|
terminal velocity
|
|
|
air resistance
|
|
|
None of the above
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -When gravity pulls objects toward the ground, it always causes them to accelerate at a rate of 9.8 m/s2.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Earth’s average is 9.80 m/s2 (32 ft/s2) which is generally reported as the acceleration of gravity on Earth. This means a dropped object will speed up 32ft/s every second it falls assuming no air resistance.
