If an object is dropped from a height of 20 m, will its acceleration change as it falls? Why or why not?

No

Give a real-life example where free fall occurs (ignoring air resistance).

If you drop a rock and throw another rock downward at the same time, which one has greater acceleration (ignoring air resistance)?

Same acceleration – both experience g

An object is dropped and falls for 6 seconds. Is its acceleration greater in the first second or the last second?

Same acceleration ( 9.8 m/s ^2 ) throughout the fall.

What is the velocity of an object just before hitting the ground after falling freely for 3 seconds? Take g=10 m/s^2

30 m/s

How far does an object fall in 10 seconds?

500 m

True or False: An object in free fall has constant velocity.

False

True or False: The acceleration due to gravity depends on the shape of the object.

False – acceleration due to gravity is the same for all objects (ignoring air).

A ball is dropped from rest. After 2 seconds, what is its velocity?

20 m/s

A stone takes 4 seconds to reach the ground when dropped. What was the approximate height? Take g=10 m/s^2

80m

True or False: The mass of an object affects the rate at which it falls in free fall.

False

What is the acceleration due to gravity on Earth (approximate value)?

g=9.8
