The standard acceleration due to gravity (or standard acceleration of free fall),is the nominal gravitational acceleration of an object in a vacuum near the surface of the Earth. It is defined by standard as:
9.8 m/s.
9.8 m.
9.8 m/s2.
9.8 s.
Free fall takes into consideration the frictional force of air resistance.
True
False
If an object is in free fall for three seconds, how fast will it be falling?
9.8 m/s
19.6 m/s
29.4 m/s
39.2 m/s
If an object is free falling onto the Moon, which of the following would be correct?
It would accelerate at 9.8 m/s2
It would not encounter any air resistance.
It would not fall because the Moon has no gravity.
It would impact the surface and bounce back into space.
Heavier objects free fall faster than lighter objects.
True
False
