What is the gain in speed per second for a freely falling object?.

Sagot :

Objects accelerate at ~9.8 Meters per second per second (9.8 Meters peer sec^2. (or ~32 feet per sec^2 for you non metric guys) As they gain speed they will reach a maximum velocity limited by atmospheric resistance, when the resistance vector equals the gravity vector and all acceleration will cease. In a vacuum the object will continue to accelerate.
