Its velocity just before it hits the floor is found from kinematic equations and acceleration due to gravity; V = SqRt{2gy) = SqRt{19.6} = 4.4 m/s . The velocity after 1 ms is zero. The average deacceleration is the velocity difference divided by the time during impact; a = (4.4 - 0 )/.001 = 4400 m/ss .

Q: For comparison what is the magnitude of the acceleration a test tube would experience if dropped from a height of 1.0 m and stopped in a 1.0-ms-long encounter with a hard floor?
