Twelve seconds after starting from rest a freely falling of cantaloupe has a speed of 114 m/s
When a body moves exclusively under the influence of the Earth's gravity, it is said to be in freefall. The motion of the ball will be accelerated as a result of an external force acting on it. This free-fall acceleration is also known as acceleration due to gravity.
The branch of physics that defines motion with respect to space and time, ignoring the cause of that motion, is known as kinematics.
from kinematic equation of motion`
v = u+ at
=u + gt (The acceleration for a free-falling object is g)
since, starting from rest
initial velocity = u = 0
time = 12 seconds
g= 9.81 m/ [tex]s^{2}[/tex]
v = u + gt
= 0 + 9.8 * 12
= 117.6 m/s
≈ 118 m/s
