    The speed of an object dropped from its rest point
    On a distant planet a freely falling object has an acceleration of 20 m/s2. Calculate the speed that an object dropped from rest on this planet acquires in 1.5s.

    How far distant is the "distant planet"?

    My book doesn't say how distant the planet is.

    Then I think this applies - Ask Me Help Desk - Announcements in Forum : Homework Help
    “Read this first - Expectations for the Homework Help Board:
    Do not simply retype or paste a question from your book or study material

    We won't do your homework questions for you. You were given the assignment for you to learn.

    If you come up with your own answer and post it for us to critique that is within reason.

    If you have some SPECIFIC questions that you couldn't find or didn't understand, we may help with that. But this is your assignment, so show us you have at least attempted to complete it on your own.

    Thank you.”

    I think the equation is v=gt(g=10m/s2). But I am not sure about where the numbers go.
