A ball is dropped off a ledge How far does it fall in the second second?

It all depends on the weight of the ball but if a tennis ball was thrown it would travel 2 1/2M in 2 seconds but cannot be calculated like this because the further the ball falls the more speed it gains. However there is a trick to this question because the 2nd second is only one second itself. making the answer 1M and 10CM !

How many meters will a 2kg ball moves starting from rest fall freely in one second?
The mass is irrelevant. If the object is in free fall (that is, air resistance can be neglected), an object will fall 4.9 meters in one second.
What will drop first a big ball or a small ball?
Both will reach the ground at the same time if they were dropped at the same time in a vacuum. This is a well proven fact that the mass has no effect on the acceleration of an object in a free fall in a vacuum.
How far different size ball will roll if they are let go at the same spot on a hill?
If two round objects roll down a hill, the one with the greater mass will roll faster. If they are dropped they will fall at the same rate.
If a ball is dropped from a balloon that is 640 feet above the ground and rising at a rate of 48 feet per second find the time the ball is in the air and the speed of the ball when it hits the ground?
Let v be the velocity when the ball is at 640 feets going downwards v = 48 feet /sec let the velocity with which it reaches the ground be u then, u2=v2+2gh g = acc due t ogravity in feet/sq.sec h = 640 feet the time taken to reach the ground = time to return to 640ft + the time to fall from there Time taken to get to the ground is 8 seconds. Final velocity is 208 feet per second downwards
A rock is dropped from rest and falls for 3 seconds what is the acceleration?
The acceleration due to the earths gravitational field at the surface is on average about 9.8 m/s^2, or 9.8 meters per second per second. This means that every second you fall go 9.8 m/s faster. So if we ignore air-resistance we find that a rock dropped from rest will have a speed of 3s * 9.8 m/s^2 = 29,4 m/s.
A ball just dropped is an example of?
Free fall
Does a golf ball fall when dropped on the Moon?
Yes. The moon has gravity.
A softball is dropped off of the side of a building As the ball continues to fall freely the kinetic energy of the ball?
Increases.
Where did the second bomb fall?
The second atomic bomb used in combat was dropped on Nagasaki.
What is an example free fall?
A rock that is dropped, and a apple falling from a tree.Hold a ball in your hand, stretch out your arm, and drop the ball. As it is moving towards the ground, it is in free fall.
What is an example of an free fall?
A rock that is dropped, and a apple falling from a tree.Hold a ball in your hand, stretch out your arm, and drop the ball. As it is moving towards the ground, it is in free fall.
If a bowling ball and a Nerf ball dropped at the same time and height what would the acceleration be?
it would be 9.8 meter per second. anything that isn't subject to air resistance(like paper) will fall at this rate for this is the acceleration of gravity,
Which will fall faster a feather or ping pong ball if dropped in a vacuum?
Both will fall at the same time in vacuum because there is no resistance.
Why does a ball dropped from a high tower fall to the base of the tower?
Due to the force of gravity. The gravitational attraction between the Earth and the ball is what causes the ball to drop.
How many meters will a bomb which is dropped from an airplane fall in the tenth second after it is released?
one
Does mass determine the acceleration due to gravity?
The acceleration due to Gravity is constant at 32 feet per second per second, if you dropped a feather and a cannon ball in a vacuum they would fall at the same rate and hit the floor at he same time.
What is the kinetic energy of a bowling ball when it's dropped off of the side of a building as is continues to fall freely?
increases
