To come up with any sort of answer, we have to neglect air resistance. If we wanted to include
air resistance, we'd need to know the exact shape of the falling object, and its behavior during
the fall. (We know that a sky diver can change his rate of fall just by manipulating the position
of his body.) Including air resistance would make this a much, much more complicated problem.
The distance traveled during constant acceleration is [ 1/2 A T2 ]. T=time spent falling.
(89 mph) x (5280 ft/mile) x (1 hr/3600 sec) = 130.533 ft/sec
The time to reach that speed in fall is (130.533/32.2) = 4.054 sec
1/2 g T2 = (16.1 x 16.434) = 264.58 feet

How far do you have to fall to reach 120 mph?
In vacuum it is about 150 meters.
How fast do objects free fall near earth?
32 ft per second squared- However, due to air resistance, the final speed will top out at about 250 mph for a streamlined object.
How fast does a skydiver fall?
Speed during free fall can change depending on a skydiver's size and body orientation. In the belly to earth orientation, the speed is about 120 mph. If the skydiver is wearing a wing suit, their vertical speed could be as low as 60 to 70 mph. In a head down orientation, the speed can often be greater than 200 mph.
How fast does a person fall after falling from a height of 25 feet?
17 mph
What is the reach of the speed a tornado can go?
In rare cases wind speeds in a tornado can exceed 300 mph (480 km/h).
How far do you have to fall to reach 120 mph?
In vacuum it is about 150 meters.
How fast do skydivers fall through the the air?
A skydiver, falling without an open parachute, will reach a terminal velocity of approx 200 km per hour (55 metres/second).
How far must a Bugatti veyron 16.4 have to travel to reach 247 mph in 55 seconds?
1044 metres
Why Chevy Monte Carlo RPM fall when reach 50 mph?
How about it shifts into 4 overdrive gears are higher so RPMs come down.
How many seconds does it take the 2007 Yamaha R1 to reach 100 mph?
It takes about 7 seconds to reach 100 mph in 4 gear. You can not reach 100 mph on a Yamaha R1 in 1st gear. It's impossible.
What is the fastest car than can reach 200 mph the fastest?
corvettes reach 200mph, but the bugatti veyron reaches 250 mph stock!
Wild turkeys can reach speeds of?
25 mph on foot 55 mph in flight
How fast can a penguin run?
Penguins can reach 20 mph and they waddle at 2 mph.
Can a Lamborghini reach 220 MPH?
Yes
Are jaguars the fastest animals?
No, not even close. Their top speed is 50 mph. The Cheetah can do 70 mph. Many birds are faster than both. The falcon can reach 200 mph in a dive, and the Frigate Bird can reach 95 mph.
Can a Honda Civic get to 120 mph in 1 second?
Under ordinary circumstances, no. Even free falling, it would only reach around 22 mph near the surface of the earth. But release it near the surface of the sun at after 1 second, it would be falling at over 600 mph!
What speeds can speed skaters reach?
30 mph on land, 35-40 mph on ice.
