The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 meters per second2 downward.
1.6 seconds after falling from a branch near the surface of the Earth,
the apple's speed is 15.68 meters per second.
It's velocity is 15.68 meters per second downward.
The tree has to be really tall, since the apple falls 12.544 meters (about 41 feet)
in 1.6 seconds.

An apple falls out of a tree and takes 1.75 seconds to strike the ground. How high was the apple from the ground?
s = ut + ½at² s = distance = height of apple before it fell u = 0 m/s (initial speed of apple) t = 1.75 s (time of movement) a = acceleration = g (acceleration due to gravity) → s = ½g1.75² = 1.53125g m taking g as approx 9.81 m/s² s ≈ 1.53125 × 9.81 m ≈ 15 m
What does tree plus apple equals what?
Well, darling, if you add a tree and an apple together, you get a fruit tree. Technically speaking, an apple grows on a tree, so you could say it equals a delicious snack waiting to be picked. But if you're looking for a more mathematical answer, I'm afraid you're out of luck because last time I checked, trees and apples don't really add up in the traditional sense.
Why is the bottom half of an apple sweeter than the top half?
well it is scientifictly proven that the bottom half of the apple is seeter becuase when an apple hangs on a tree it is hung in a position where the juices and the sweetness move from the top to the bottom...can you guess why?!.....GRAVITY! theres your answeer
What did you do a few seconds ago?
well a few seconds ago i climbed up a tree and after that i fell off now i have abrooze on my arm!!! a few seconds ago i was on another tab that also has wikianswers on it. now i am annoyed as no one has answered my question yet.
How many seconds is there in a half a minute?
Ah, a half of a minute is 30 seconds! Just like painting a happy little tree, sometimes it's nice to break things down into smaller parts to see the beauty in simplicity. Keep enjoying those little moments of time, my friend.
