How fast would an object hit the ground if it fell from 10m?

1 answer

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.
