How does velocity varies with the vertical distance traveled by the object?

When an object falls vertically downward, its velocity increases according to the following equation:
2aS=vf2 - vi2 or ,
2*10*S=v2, or
v=(20S)1/2.
There is a second case in which a body is thrown vertically upward, here its velocity decreases as it moves upward. Here its velocity becomes zero as it reaches the highest point

If you know the distance traveled and the time traveled can YOU determine an object and ACCELERATION?
no, you need to know its initial velocity to determine this; if initial velocity is zero then distance is 1/2 acceleration x time squared
What do distance time graphs show?
Distance time graph shows the distance an object has traveled with respect to time. Time is plotted on the horizontal axis and distance is plotted on the vertical axis. The slope of the graph at any particular point in time will be equal to the instantaneous velocity at that point in time.
What is the distance traveled by an object divided by the time in which the distance was traveled without identifying the direction traveled?
Speed describes the distance traveled by an object divided by the time in which the distance was traveled, if the direction is not specified.
What is the distance traveled by an object divided by the time it takes to travel that distance called?
The distance traveled by an object divided by the time it takes to travel that distance is called the average speed, r, if you are also considering its direction, its average velocity. Velocity = distance in one direction/time Speed = distance/time For example: A car that travels 60 miles in a time of 2 hours has a speed of 30 miles per hour.
How do you find the initial velocity given only the distance and the time traveled?
You can't. You need either the final velocity or the acceleration of the object as well, and then you can substitute the known values into a kinematics equation to get the initial velocity.
If an object is accelerating what equation relates the distance traveled by that object to the initial velocity final velocity and time?
Final velocity = Initial velocity +(acceleration * time)
In determining velocity of any object in motion Why is it important to know the distance and the time the object traveled?
Velocity is equal to distance divided by time.
What can you determine if you know the distance an object has traveled in a certain amount of time?
Velocity Velocity= distance/time V=d/t
If you know the distance traveled and the time traveled can YOU determine an object and ACCELERATION?
no, you need to know its initial velocity to determine this; if initial velocity is zero then distance is 1/2 acceleration x time squared
What is an object that has traveled a certain distance but has no velocity?
a car or any automotive going in circles, it has no direction 8)
What do distance time graphs show?
Distance time graph shows the distance an object has traveled with respect to time. Time is plotted on the horizontal axis and distance is plotted on the vertical axis. The slope of the graph at any particular point in time will be equal to the instantaneous velocity at that point in time.
If a person knows the distance an object has traveled in a certain amount of time they can determine the?
If you divide he distance by the time, and take into account the direction traveled, you will get the AVERAGE velocity during the time considered.
Are time and distance directly proportional to each other?
Time and distance traveled are directly proportional only if the velocity of the object in question is constant.
What is the distance traveled by an object divided by the time in which the distance was traveled without identifying the direction traveled?
Speed describes the distance traveled by an object divided by the time in which the distance was traveled, if the direction is not specified.
If a person knows the distance an object has traveled in a certain amount of time they can determine the .?
If you divide he distance by the time, and take into account the direction traveled, you will get the AVERAGE velocity during the time considered.
What two things must you know to determine average speed?
To determine average speed, you need to know what distance the object traveled in meters over how long it took the object to travel that distance in seconds.
What is the definition of vertical velocity?
Vertical means up and down; so the vertical velocity is an indication of how quickly an object is rising or falling. If the object is moving at an angle (such as an airplane taking off or landing) then it would be more accurate to call it the vertical component of the object's velocity.
