If a freely-falling object were somehow equipped with a speedometer on a planet where the acceleration due to gravity is 20 m/s²,then its speed reading would increase each second by A)10 m/s. B)20 m/s. C)30 m/s. D)40 m/s. E)depends on its initial speed

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The acceleration due to gravity is 20 m/s^2. This means that the object will increase its speed by 20 m/s every second it falls. Therefore, the speedometer reading will increase by 20 m/s every second, making choice B the correct answer.
