A flowerpot weighing 2 kilograms is accidentally knocked off the window ledge of the top floor apartment in a tall building. What will be its speed at the end of 5 seconds?

Answer :

Mass of the body does not affect the motion, all bodies fall at the same rate in vacuum. This rate on earth is approximately [tex]9.8m/s^2[/tex]. This means the speed increases by [tex]9.8m/s[/tex] every second. So the speed after [tex]t[/tex] seconds is simply [tex]9.8m/s^2\times\,t\,s=9.8t\,m/s[/tex]

The speed after [tex]5[/tex]  seconds would be [tex]9.8m/s^2\,\times\,5s=49m/s[/tex]
speed is 98 meters per second and the weight of the pot does not effect the speed of the body speed after 5sec is 49 meaters per second
