15.

An object is dropped from a building. If g = 10 ms2ms^{-2} , and it took 2.5 seconds for the object to reach the ground, what is its speed in m/s just before hitting the ground?

(a)  

16.

An object is dropped from a building. If g = 10 ms2ms^{-2} , and it took 2.5 seconds for the object to reach the ground, we have found that its speed before hitting the ground is 25 m/s.

Speed of object

18.

When an object is falling in air with considerable air resistance, it accelerates until it reaches a constant speed.

This constant speed is called the (a)   .
