Step-by-step explanation:
How do you find the speed of a falling object?
Calculate the final free fall speed (just before hitting the ground) with the formula v = g*t = 9.80665 * 8 = 78.45 m/s. Find the distance traveled by the falling object, using the equation s = 0.5 * g * t^2 = 0.5 * 9.80665 * 8^2 = 313.8 m.
