At one foot per second, it would take 15 seconds.
The Earth's gravitational pull is 32.2 ft per second squared.

You drop a penny from a height of 16 feet After how many seconds does the penny land on the ground?
1 second, since all objects fall at 16 feet per second.
What are some results about big and small objects and which reaches the ground first?
In free fall an object regardless of its mass will accelerate at 9.8 meters/second/second or 32 feet/second/second assuming that you are on earth in a frictionless environment. This means that any two objects regardless of their mass will fall to the ground at the same rate.
How many feet per second do you fall when skydiving?
Well the average terminal velocity ofr an average sized jumper is 120mph. I fall at 120mph and fall 10,000 feet in 45/50 seconds so I guess about 213 feet per second.
Why do object fall to the ground when dropped?
It is due to gravity. It is Earth's gravitation force that keeps our feet firmly on the ground.
A red kite is 100 feet off the ground and is rising at 8 feet per second A blue kite is 180 feet of the ground and is rising at 5 feet per second How long will it take for the red kite to be highe?
26.7 seconds
If a ball is dropped from a balloon that is 640 feet above the ground and rising at a rate of 48 feet per second find the time the ball is in the air and the speed of the ball when it hits the ground?
Let v be the velocity when the ball is at 640 feets going downwards v = 48 feet /sec let the velocity with which it reaches the ground be u then, u2=v2+2gh g = acc due t ogravity in feet/sq.sec h = 640 feet the time taken to reach the ground = time to return to 640ft + the time to fall from there Time taken to get to the ground is 8 seconds. Final velocity is 208 feet per second downwards
How many feet per second does a pebble fall?
1 foot.
Why is 26000 feet considered to be the death zone?
because you could fall of the hight of a mountain at 26,000 feet above ground
What will happen to a stone dropped from the roof of a single story building to the surface of the earth?
The stone would fall straight down from the release point, it would fall with steadily increasing speed, and when it hit the ground, it would stop falling. The rate at which its speed increased during the fall would be 32.2 feet per second faster every second.
If an object is in free fall after each second how does the object fall?
The speed of an object in free fall near the earth's surface is always 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second morethan it was one second earlier.
If I fall five feet to the ground when I'm born what am I?

Will density of a substance cause it to fall faster?
All objects fall at 32 feet per second per second, meaning that every second, they are falling 32 feet per second faster. Air resistance may have a minimal effect but the density of the object will not affect the speed.
