If air resistance is not considered, then a penny dropped from rest will accelerate 9.8 m/s² {on Earth}. Distance traveled is ½at², and velocity is at.

After 2 seconds, it will have traveled 19.6 meters {about 64 feet} and reach a velocity of 19.6 m/s {about 44 miles per hour}.

After something has fallen for 4 seconds what is its velocity?

If you assume a gravity of 9.8, that would be 4 x 9.8 (answer in meter/second). If there is air resistance, the speed will be less than that.

How far does something fall in 2.56 seconds?

That depends on how long it's been falling altogether. If it was just dropped at the beginning of the 2.56 seconds, and it's only been falling for 2.56 seconds altogether, then it has fallen 32.1 meters (105.3 feet). (rounded) If it was falling for some time before the 2.56 seconds began, then it fell farther. A falling object keeps falling faster and faster as time goes on.


What is the velocity of a 50 gram egg dropped 3 meters off the ground right before it hits the ground?

Ignoring the effects of air resistance, the velocity of any object dropped near the surface of the Earth is 29.42 meters (96.53 feet) per second, directed downward, after it has fallen 3 meters. If you're working with situations and asking questions like this one, then you're supposed to know by now that the mass or weight of the object makes no difference. If you can eliminate air resistance, then the answer is the same for a feather, a bowling ball, and a battleship.


How do you find the velocity of an object that has fallen 10 m?

Assuming the the object was dropped and is relatively close to the earth's surface; then we can say that since: distance=(1/2)(acceleration)(time)2 ; 10m=(1/2)(9.8)(time)2 ; then the time spent falling is apprx. 1.429s, multiplied by the acceleration (9.8 m/s2) gives us a velocity of apprx. 14.00 m/s
