Acartoon shows two friends watching an unoccupied car in free fall after it has rolled off a cliff. one friend says to the other "it goes from zero to sixty miles per hour in about three seconds." is this statement correct?

The statement is not correct because the velocity of the car in a free fall after 3 seconds is 29.4 m/s while the assumed velocity of the friend is 26.82 m/s.

The given information;

The velocity of an object under the influence of gravity;

v = u + gt

where;

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Convert the given final velocity in mph to m/s;

Determine if the assumed final velocity will be equal to actual velocity in 3 seconds after the motion.

v = 0 + (3 x 9.8)

v = 29.4 m/s

Thus, the statement is not correct because the velocity of the car in a free fall after 3 seconds is 29.4 m/s while the assumed velocity of the friend is 26.82 m/s.

this is a good question! i'll do some research and come back when i have the answer!

less than one you can't create energy
