If a speedometer is attached to a freely falling body, then how much would its speed readings incresase with each second of fall ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

A speedometer measures the instantaneous speed of a moving body. The speed of a falling body inreeases by ` g )=9.8 ms^(-2)` for each second of fall. The speed reading of speedometer will increase by ` 9.8 ms^(-1) for each second of fall.
