Do free falling objects move at constant velocity or do they accelerate?

• Falling objects accelerate at -9.8 m/s²
• Falling object move at constant velocity
• Falling objects accelerate at 100 m/s²
• It depends on the mass: heavy objects accelerate, light objects do not

What values are always known for an object that is dropped?

• v_i = 0 m/s

  a = -9.8 m/s²

• v_i = -9.8 m/s

  a = -9.8 m/s²

• v_i = -9.8 m/s

  a = 0 m/s²

• d = -9.8 m

  v_i = 0 m/s
