For a freely-falling object dropped from rest, what is its acceleration at the end of fifth second? explain your answer.

The acceleration of gravity is constant.  It is 32 ft/sē in the US
but 9.8 m/sē anywhere else in the world.

So it doesn't matter whether you're talking about the 1st second,
the 5th second, or the 29th second, if it hasn't hit the ground 
then it's acceleration is always that same constant.

The speed gets faster and faster, but the acceleration, (the speeding
up process is always the same, so it's 32 ft/sē in the US and 9.8 m/sē
elsewhere.
