Solution

The speed of a freely falling object can be calculated using the formula v = gt, where v is the final velocity, g is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.8 m/s² on Earth), and t is the time.

In this case, the time (t) is 12 seconds. So, we can substitute these values into the formula:

v = 9.8 m/s² * 12 s = 117.6 m/s

So, twelve seconds after starting from rest, a freely-falling cantaloupe would have a speed of more than 100 m/s.

A freely falling body has a constant acceleration of 9.8 m/s2. This means that: Group of answer choicesthe acceleration of the body increases by 9.8 m/s2 during each secondthe speed of the body increases by 9.8 m/s during each secondthe body falls 9.8 m during each secondthe acceleration of the body decreases by 9.8 m/s2 during each secondthe body falls 9.8 m during the first second

A body starting from rest accelerates uniformly by along a straight line at the rate of 10 m/s2 for 5s. It moves for 2s with uniform velocity of 50 m/s. Then it retards uniformly and comes to rest in 3s. The total distance travelled by the body is:A 200 m B 300 m C 400 m D 600 m
