Question

What would be the intial velocity of an object fall freely under gravity?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

When an object is thrown downward from a non zero height say h the motion is referred to as free fall with initial velocity of object beign zero. Hence v=0.

Answer 2

Answer:

Whether explicitly stated or not, the value of the acceleration in the kinematic equations is -9.8 m/s/s for any freely falling object. If an object is merely dropped (as opposed to being thrown) from an elevated height, then the initial velocity of the object is 0 m/s.
