So idk if this makes sense so I’m going to use numbers. If I take something, and shoot it let’s say a bullet. Into the air. The first second it will be slowing down at 9.81m/s if I’m not mistaking because gravity is pulling it down that fast. At the 2nd second. Will gravity be pulling it down at 9.81m/s still or will it go to 19.62m/s? Like will the speed be stacking essentially for how fast it slows down?
In: 8
on the way up, every second, the speed of the bullet will be 9.8 m/s slower. until it stops. air resistance will also slow it down quite a bit too.
then it starts falling, and every second, it will move 9.8 m/s faster (downward). but again, air resistance will limit how fast it can go.
