1. The instantaneous speed is the speed of an object at a particular point in time. Instantaneous speed changes all the time.
From the question given above:
T [time] = 6 seconds
To calculate instantaneous speed, the initial speed will be taken to be zero because the object was dropped from rest. The gravitation pull = 9.8 m/s [approximately 10m/s].
For instantaneous speed, V= gt, where V is the instantaneous speed, g is the gravitational pull and t is the time
V = gt = 10 * 6 = 60
Therefore, V = 60 m/s.
2. Average speed is defined as the change in distance divided by the change in time.
To calculate average speed W = [final speed + initial speed]/2
Final speed = 60 m/s
Initial speed = 0 m/s
W =[60 + 0]/2 = 30
Therefore, average speed = 30 m/s.
3. To calculate distance fallen, the formula of speed will be used
Average Speed = distance/ time
Distance = average speed * time = 30 * 6 = 180
Therefore, the distance fallen = 180m.
