An object falling freely from rest reaches ground in 2 s. If acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m s-2 , the velocity of the object on reaching the ground will be —

  1. 9.8 m s-1
  2. 4.9 m s-1
  3. 19.6 m s-1
  4. Zero

Answer

19.6 m s-1

Reason — As we know,

Velocity of the object = g x t

Given,

u = 0,

g = 9.8 m s-2

t = 2 s

v = u + gt

Substituting the values in the formula above, we get,

Velocity of the object = 0 + 9.8 x 2 = 19.6 m s-1
