In class we used the ’How-fast‘ and ’How-far‘ method to determine the speed and distance that an object will fall under gravity. An apple falls from a tree and hits the ground after 4 seconds. It hits the ground with a speed of about ….m/s and it reaches a vertical distance of about …. meters, respectively
