Neglecting air resistance ...
X = 1/2 G t2 = 1/2 (9.8) (4.82)2 = (4.9) (23.2324) = 113.84 meters (373.5 ft) (rounded)

Objects with three very different sizes and weights are dropped off a tower on the moon. Which factor of the objects will determine which hits the ground first?
None of these matter. With no air resistance, they all hit the ground at the same time.
What is the acceleration of the stone if it is dropped from the top of a tower?
The acceleration will be equal to the acceleration due to gravity. Unless otherwise stated, one can assume this to be 9.81 meters/seconds It has nothing to do with the mass of the stone.
If you drop a coconut and a grape which one reaches the ground first?
Proven by a experiment at the leaning tower of Pisa many centuries ago Objects with different weight fall at the same rate
How do you find natural frequency of wind turbine tower?
Solve by treating tower as a cantilever beam and lumping some of the tower mass at the top. First find the deflection of the tower, from this find the stiffness. The lowest natural frequency is sqrt(k/m), where m is the mass at the top of the tower plus the 0.23mass of the tower that can be lumped at the end.
If a small lead ball falls from a high tower on Earth what will be its velocity after 2 seconds?
v = a X t. a = 9.8 m/s2 (acceleration) and t = time. At t = 2 seconds, v = (9.8 m/s2) X (2 s) = 19.8 m/s. At t = 4 seconds, v = (9.8 m/s2) X (4 s) = 39.6 m/s. [ANSWER: at t = 2 s, v = 19.8 m/s ; at t = 4 s, v = 39.6 m/s. ]

How long does it take to fall off the tallest Roblox tower ever?
I timed myself. Without parachuting, it takes exactly 15 seconds, though it can take many many minutes to climb up. This tower was made by Ishy2345, and it's called: Skydive 999,999,999 Feet Down The Tallest Tower!
What are they going to call the tower at ground zero?
It is going to be called "Freedom Tower".
