The velocity = (location at 40 seconds - location at 20 seconds)/20 in the direction in which the object is moving.

The speed of the the object is 20/5 = 4 metres per second.In order to answer the question in terms of velocity, it is necessary to know the direction of motion because velocity is a vector.
Well, isn't that just a happy little question! To find the acceleration between 20 seconds and 30 seconds, you would need to calculate the change in velocity during that time interval and divide it by the time taken. Remember, acceleration is how quickly an object's velocity is changing over time. Just like adding a touch of bright color to a painting, understanding acceleration can add a beautiful depth to your knowledge of motion.
This object is changing its position, its velocity, and its acceleration.This object is changing its position, its velocity, and its acceleration.This object is changing its position, its velocity, and its acceleration.This object is changing its position, its velocity, and its acceleration.
Acceleration = (change in velocity) / (time for the change)9.8 = (change in velocity) / (2 seconds)9.8 x 2 = change in velocity = 19.6 meters per second .Hint: The mass of the object and the height of the building are there just tothrow you off balance. You don't need either of them to answer the question.
In two seconds of fall, the speed increases 19.6 meters (64.4 feet) per second. The magnitude of velocity increases by that amount, while the direction of velocity doesn't change.
