To determine the speed at which an object would be falling three seconds after being dropped, we need to use the formula for free fall acceleration:
v = gt
where v is the velocity or speed, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and t is the time.
Plugging in the given values, we have:
v = 9.8 * 3
v = 29.4 (m/s)
Therefore, the correct answer is A. 29.4 (m/s).
Acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 (m/s/s) how fast would an object be falling three seconds after being dropped? (You can ignore air resistance)
A. 29.4 (m/s)
B. 9.8 (m/s)
C. 19.6 (m/s)
D. 39.2 (m/s)
