Although it does not allow for factors such as air resistence, perhaps it's the formula

s = (iVt) + ( (1/2)at2)

where s is Distance, iV is initial velocity, t is time (t2 is time squared) and a is acceleration.

Taking 0 as the initial velocity, 1 second as the change in time, 9.8 m/s as the acceleration (as it is near the earth's surface):

s = ( 0(1) ) + ( (1/2)(9.8)(12) )

s = 4.9

The object will fall by 4.9 metres.

How far will an object fall in one second if dropped from near the earth?

4.9 meters (16.1 feet)


If an object is in free fall after each second how does the object fall?

The speed of an object in free fall near the earth's surface is always 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second morethan it was one second earlier.


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.


How far will an object move in one second of its average speed is 5 meter per second?

5 meters.


Does lowering an object decrease its potential energy?

Yes. One type of potential energy is gravitational potential energy, or how much energy an object has based on how far it can fall. If you lower an object, it loses gravitational potential energy because it can't fall as far. Likewise, if you raise an object, it gains G.P.E.


How far will an object move in one second if its average speed is 5?

5m/s


How far does an object fall in 1 sec?

That completely depends on the shape of the object. It should be easy to find a lead sinker and a piece of cloth with the same weight as the sinker. Drop them both out of a second-floor window, and you'll see that the effects of air resistance have nothing to do with the object's weight, but a lot to do with its shape.


What is an object in free fall?

An object in free fall is one that has only the force of gravity acting upon it.


When one object causes a second object to resonate and the second object has absorbed from the first?

When one object pushes or pulls another object the first object does what to the second object?

What are the two characteristics of a free falling object?

the conditions of free falling object are as follows: when there is no air resistance the body (object) tends to fall one by one but, when there is presence of air medium the object fall at once (simultaneously) ----salman-----


When one object pushes or pulls another object the first object is what a force on the second object?

Pulling
