What is the velocity of a ball that has a 3.03 second hit to the ground?

If it was thrown horizontally or dropped, and hit the ground 3.03 seconds later, then it hit the ground moving at a speed of 29.694 meters (97.42-ft) per second. If it was tossed at any angle not horizontal, and hit the ground 3.03 seconds later, we need to know the direction it was launched, in order to calculate the speed with which it hit the ground.


Contribution of Aristotle in physics?

Aristotle stated that the heavier something is, the faster it falls, but later Galileo Galilei disproved that by testing Aristotle's theory. A Second Answerer says: Aristotle was actually correct if the object falls far enough to reach it's terminal velocity. He had studied falling bodies in fluids and found that the terminal velocity depended on the density of the object and the fluid. Galileo's experiment only worked because the fluid, air, has a very low density and because the distance was too short for the iron balls to reach their terminal velocities. For hailstones, which fall far enough to reach terminal velocities, it is found that heavier stones are traveling much faster when they hit the ground.


What is free fall with example?

Free fall is exactly what the name suggest. A free fall is when an object falls downwards with NO OTHER FORCE acting upon it. An example of a free fall would be if you pushed your friend off an airplane. while he is falling he is experiencing no force but gravity (a free fall). Don't worry though, he had a parachute he deployed later on.


Will a baseball or basketball reach the ground first?

If dropped from the same height (a few meters), they would appear to hit the ground at the same time, according to the experiments of Galileo. However, this neglects air resistance on the basketball, which will slow it down more and cause it to hit the ground later (very slightly later). The baseball, which has a smaller area and therefore less air resistance, will hit the ground first.
