How Many Feet Per Second Does an Object Fall?
The acceleration due to gravity is not a constant rate. An object won't fall at the same rate the entire way down to Earth. It will continue to speed up. This rate of acceleration due to gravity is 32 feet per second squared. Since the seconds are squared the graph would not be linear.
Gravity = 32 ft per second squared
G = 32 f/ sec 2
Since the seconds are squared the graph would not be linear. Remember for a function to be linear the exponent can not be greater than 1.
