If an object is dropped, how fast will it be moving after falling #1 m#?

Answer 1

#4,427m//s#

Equations of motion for constant linear acceleration in one direction are valid since the object is in free fall and the only force acting is gravity (assuming no friction or air resistance):

Consequently, v^2=u^2+2ax.

#therefore v=sqrt(0^2+(2xx9,8xx1))#

#=4,427m//s#.

The object will be moving at approximately 4.43 m/s after falling 1 meter, assuming it falls freely under the influence of gravity near the Earth's surface.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
