If a rock on Earth is dropped in a vacuum and has an initial speed of 0 meters per second What is the rock's falling speed after 2 seconds?

Since there is no air, there is no air resistance so acceleration of free-fall is constant throughout the fall. Thus the first of the four equations of motion can be used.
v = u + at
where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, a = constant acceleration, t = time of motion
v = 0 + (9.8 m/sec/sec)(2 sec) = 19.6 meters per second.

Speed = (acceleration) x (time)
Acceleration of a dropped rock = gravity = 9.8 m/s2
Speed = (9.8) x (2) = 19.6 m/sec

A rock is dropped from a cliff and hits the ground 6.0 seconds later How high is the cliff?
176.4 meters
An arrow in flight has an initial velocity of 65 meters per second and 10 seconds later it has a velocity of 35 meters per second Which is the acceleration of the arrow?
Acceleration of the arrow is -3m/s2A = (velocity minus initial velocity) / time
What is the velocity of a ball in meters per second that drops from a roof and the speed was at 3.03 seconds?
If the ball was dropped from a roof and hit the ground 3.03 seconds later, then when it hit the groundits velocity was 29.694 meters (97.42 feet) per second (rounded) downward.

How far does something fall in 2.56 seconds?
That depends on how long it's been falling altogether. If it was just dropped at the beginning of the 2.56 seconds, and it's only been falling for 2.56 seconds altogether, then it has fallen 32.1 meters (105.3 feet). (rounded) If it was falling for some time before the 2.56 seconds began, then it fell farther. A falling object keeps falling faster and faster as time goes on.

A hammer is dropped off a roof of an apartment building that is 80 meters high How long will it take to hit the ground?
The hammer will take square-root(2x80/9.8)= 4.04 seconds to hit the ground. The distance is related to the time by s=v0t + 1/2 gt^2 where vo, the initial velocity is=0. The answer is 4.04 or rounded is 4 seconds.
A 6.65 kg laundry bag is dropped from rest at an initial height of 3.20 m?
So? Whats the question? _______________________________ It doesn't matter what it is (well, if we ignore air resistance), in Earth's gravity the object will accelerate at 9.8 meters per second per second. Dropped from an altitude H, you can use the formula =(2/9.8*H)^0.5 to calculate the time it takes (in seconds) to the ground. In the absence of air resistance, it will take 0.808 seconds to fall. The speed of the falling object at any moment can be calculated as the time multiplied by 9.8 meters per second per second. In the absence of air resistance, the laundry bag will be falling at a speed of 7.9 meters per second when it hits.
Suppose an object in free fall is dropped from a building. Its starting velocity is 0 ms. What is the speed (in ms) of the object after falling 2 seconds Give your answer as a positive decimal.?
19.6 meters per second
How long will it take an object dropped from a window to fall a distance of 78.4 meters?
4 Seconds
When acceleration occurs?
Acceleration occurs when velocity changes over time. The formula for it is as follows: a = (Vf - Vi) / t a: acceleration (meters/seconds2) Vf: Final velocity (meters/seconds) Vi: Initial Velocity (meters/seconds) t: Time (seconds)
Gravity causes all falling objects to accelerate at a rate of 98 meters per seconds?
No
A rock is dropped from a cliff and hits the ground 6.0 seconds later How high is the cliff?
176.4 meters
How far will a freely falling object fall from rest in 4 seconds?
78.46 meters (257.4 feet)
A 12 kg rock falls from rest off a cliff and hits the ground in 1.5 s What is the velocity?
The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 meters/sec2.In 1.5 seconds after it's dropped, any object is falling at (9.8 x 2) = 19.6 meters/sec.The mass of the rock makes no difference.
