Question 859981: the velocity of a dropped object when it hits the ground can be found using v= the square root of 2gd where v is the velocity in feet per second g is the acceleration due to gravity and d is the distance in feet the object drops find the speed of a penny when it hits the ground after being dropped from 984 feet is 32 feet per second squared for g

the velocity of a dropped object when it hits the ground can be found using v= the square root of 2gd where v is the velocity in feet per second g is the acceleration due to gravity and d is the distance in feet the object drops find the speed of a penny when it hits the ground after being dropped from 984 feet is 32 feet per second squared for g
------------------------------
v = the square root of 2gd
---
v = sqrt(2gd)
Solve for "g"::
32 = sqrt(2*g*984)
1968g = 32^2
g = 0.5203 ft/sec^2 (acceleration due to gravity)
