Remember that acceleration means the rate at which velocity changes When something accelerates due to gravity near the earths surface its vertical speed changes by 98 ms every second While its rising its speed DECREASES by 98 ms every second and while its falling its speed INCREASES by 98 ms every second So it starts at 407 ms After 1 second it has slowed See Answer
