Recall from an earlier lesson that acceleration is the rate at which an object changes its velocity. It is the ratio of velocity change to time between any two points in an object's path. To accelerate at 9.8 m/s/s means to change the velocity by 9.8 m/s each second.
If the velocity and time for a free-falling object being dropped from a position of rest were tabulated, then one would note the following pattern. Time (s) Velocity (m/s) 0 0 1 - 9.8 2 - 19.6 3 - 29.4 4 - 39.2 5 - 49.0
Observe that the velocity-time data above reveal that the object's velocity is changing by 9.8 m/s each consecutive second. That is, the free-falling object has an acceleration of approximately 9.8 m/s/s.
This depends upon your system and what programs you have and how good you are at this - usually by doing it. Go full screen, then highest resolution, - then right at the end, pause, Alt Print Screen, open image or save image, then look in your image viewing / picture processing program - ZOOM right in at the place she landed, and tell me what you see or find, or what appears to be.
@Life_N_Times_of_Shane_T_Hanson: Though, I giess its cheaper than a divorce and a Cheaper To Keeper .. Hope she's a Fan of wasn't it Dead Like Me the tv series about Grim Reapers living as ordinary people?
@WMHarrison94: Just watched a bit of that then.... It was worth a look at... but why sit on your arse watching people pretending to b someone they are not, in a situation that does not exist, speaking words other people wrote for them, just to make the you watch the crap in the adds, for shit they want to sell you..... I'd rather live a life by going and doing something useful.
Yeah I was so bored too - watching that fine piece of pussy all the way off and all the way down.... Then I thought, "We ought to introduce this as a sport at the feminist olympics - but we need to drain the pool - because pools are sexist."
@Councilof1: Time the fall and then calculate the rate of acceleration of 9.8 meters per second squared, and figure out how fast she was going when she hit the water....
@WMHarrison94: It was abstractions like the "Meters Per Second "SQUARED"" that always fucked me up... the squared bit... I think I should start my maths course, at grade 3 again..... I kid you not.... I can think in terms of the mass of the vehicle braking from such and such a speed, over such and such distance, and the diminishing atmospheric drag, the rising brake pad and rotor temperatures, the coefficients of friction in the entire system - the motor and the drive train - the brake pads on the rotors and the tyres on the macadam - I can see the functions... I can see them as graphs in the overlaid simultaneous "equations" - and in a calculus kind of a way - but I have immense problems doing even grade 3 maths.... LOL
@Life_N_Times_of_Shane_T_Hanson: no worries... I used to do Trig and Calculus in my head, but sinple problems like adding up groceries and calculating weights and prices (since the Bidenflation, I've been buying from self service bins at grocery stores... just enough to get me through a week or two...) I have to use a calculator to double check my math, plus it could be because I shop at 4 am.. too.
@WMHarrison94: Naaaaaa it's not seconds.... IF you count 5 seconds and I count 5 seconds - then that is 10 seconds. This makes her final velocity 399 meters persecond, meaning she needs a pool 220 meters deep.... You right - she is still down the bottom eating gravel.
@WMHarrison94: I finally understand acceleration due to gravity ^^^^^^^ up there for formatting.

Idk... is it just me, but I don't think she surfaced?!
Nope. I'm not that bored. I can't imagine being so bored with life that I'd do thing's like that to feel anything.
