The initial speed in free fall is zero, the acceleration of gravity is taken equal to 10m / s ^ 2

The initial speed in free fall is zero, the acceleration of gravity is taken equal to 10m / s ^ 2, what path will the body travel in 1 second?

Given:

v0 = 0 is the initial speed of the body in free fall;

t = 1 second – time interval;

g = 10 m / s ^ 2 – acceleration of gravity.

It is required to determine S (meters) – the path traversed by the body during the time interval t.

S = v0 * t + g * t ^ 2/2 = 0 * 1 + 10 * 1 ^ 2/2 = 0 + 10/2 = 0 + 5 = 5 meters.

Answer: in one second, the body will fly a path equal to 5 meters.
