If a small marble is dropped straight downward what is the initial velocity of the marble?

The initial velocity is zero.
In most basic physics problems like this one the initial velocity will be zero
as a rule of thumb:
the initial velocity is always zero, unless otherwise stated, or this is what you are solving for
Cases where the initial velocity is not zero
examples
a cannon ball is shot out of a cannon at 50 mph
a ball is thrown from at a speed of 15 mph
etc

What formula do you use to calculate the acceleration of an object moving in a straight line?
Acceleration = Final velocity - Initial velocity / time
An arrow is shot straight up at an initial velocity of 250ms How long will it take to hit the ground?
This is a velocity question so u need to use uvaxt
Can the effect of initial velocity on final velocity be predicted?
Well, (final velocity) = (initial velocity) + (acceleration x time)
What is the formula for calculating final velocity when you know the initial speed and the acceleration?
the formula for finding acceleration is final velocity, minus initial velocity, all over time. So if you have the acceleration and initial speed, which is equal to the initial velocity, you must also have time in order to find the final velocity. Once you have the time, you multiply it by the acceleration. That product gives you the difference of the final velocity and initial velocity, so then you just add the initial velocity to the product to find the final velocity.
What is the formula for calculating displacement in which initial velocity and time are the variables?
If the velocity is constant, thenDisplacement = (initial velocity) multiplied by (time)
Does uniform negative acceleration properly characterize the motion of a heavy object thrown violently downward from a tall building?
The largest variation from two objects moving downward either 'dropped' or 'thrown' thereby allowing earth's natural gravity to increase until an object approaches and/or reaches maximum velocity. The difference in the two examples, 'dropped' or 'thrown' objects merely illustrates that the "thrown" object will reach maximum velocity quicker than the 'dropped' object.
What is the balloons initial velocity when a water balloon is dropped from the fifth floor of a building?
If you simply release an object, the initial velocity is always zero.
Draw the Velocity Versus Time graph for an object that is dropped from the top of a building and has no initial speed?
The graph is a straight line through the origin, with a slope of (9.8 m/s) per second.
Is a body has zero velocity with non-zero acceleration?
both the magnitudes and the directions of the initial and final velocities are the same.
Why velocity is non zero when ball dropped to the ground?
The initial velocity of a dropped ball is zero in the y (up-down) direction. After it is dropped gravity causes an acceleration, which causes the velocity to increase. F = ma, The acceleration due to gravity creates a force on the mass of the ball.
What formula do you use to calculate the acceleration of an object moving in a straight line?
Acceleration = Final velocity - Initial velocity / time
When you throw a ball up why does the vertical component undergo change?
Because there's a constant downward vertical force on the ball, so it must accelerate downward. If you give it an initial upward velocity, the magnitude of that upward velocity must steadily decrease, and it must eventually dwindle to zero and then become downward velocity. The constant downward vertical force on the ball is the force of attraction between the mass of the ball and the mass of the Earth, caused by gravity.
An object has initial velocity in the upward direction a final velocity in the downward direction and undergoes constant acceleration What can you say about its average acceleration?
If, as you say, its acceleration is "constant", then the average is exactly equal to that constant.
A baseball is hit straight up at an initial velocity of 150MS. what will be the baseballs speed when it hits the ground?
20.40
An arrow is shot straight up at an initial velocity of 250ms How long will it take to hit the ground?
This is a velocity question so u need to use uvaxt
Can the effect of initial velocity on final velocity be predicted?
Well, (final velocity) = (initial velocity) + (acceleration x time)
What does initial velocity means?
initial velocity is the velocity with which a particle starts its journey.
