The speed at which an object falls to the ground can be calculated using the equation of motion for free fall:
v = √(2gh)
where:
v = velocity (speed)
g = acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.8 m/s²)
h = height
Plugging in the values:
v = √(2 * 9.8 * 10)
= √(196)
= 14 m/s
Therefore, the object would hit the ground with a speed of 14 m/s.
How fast would an object hit the ground if it fell from 10m?
