The acceleration of any object falling to the surface of Earth is _______________ m/s2. This means that at the first second
the object will be falling with a speed of 9.8 m/s2. At 2 seconds, the object will be falling at the rate of
_________________________; at 3 seconds, it will be falling at the rate of _________________________, and so on.
