6m/s

When acceleration is g

Free fall - when the only force action on a falling object is gravity, the object is in free fall. Free fall = 10m/s/s

Newton's 3rd Law of Motion

Law of Action and Reaction: Whenever one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first.

Suzie

Newton's 2nd Law of Motion

The Law of Acceleration: The acceleration produced by a net force on an object is directly proportional to the net force, is in the same direction as the net force, and is inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

Newton's 1st Law of Motion

The Law of Inertia: Every object continues in a state of rest or of uniform speed in a straight line unless acted on by a nonzero force.
