depends on weight of object and wind strength.

normally heavy objects will drop down faster than lighter objects.

When you throw an object up with ten meters per seconds would it be equal when it fall down?

Assuming that air resistance can be ignored, the answer is yes.


How long will it take an object dropped from a window to fall a distance of 78.4 meters?

4 Seconds


How far will a freely falling object fall from rest in 4 seconds?

78.46 meters (257.4 feet)


If an object falls for 12 seconds from what height did it fall ignoring air resistance?

On object falling under the force of gravity (9.8 m/s2) would, in a vacuum, fall a distance of 706 metres in 12 seconds. In a non-vacuum, i.e. air, the object would fall less distance in the same time due to drag.xt = 0.5 (9.8) t2


How many meters will an object fall in 1.5 seconds?

H = 1/2 G T2 = 1/2 (32.2) (1.5)2 = 36.23 feet


What is the speed of an object in free fall 2 seconds after falling from rest?

Acceleration of gravity near the surface of the earth is 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second2. Downward velocity after 2 seconds = 19.2 meters (64.4 feet) per second.


Suppose an object in free fall is dropped from a building. Its starting velocity is 0 ms. What is the speed (in ms) of the object after falling 2 seconds Give your answer as a positive decimal.?

19.6 meters per second


With what initial velocity would an object have to be thrown downward to fall 240 meters in 5 seconds?

During the 5 seconds, gravity adds 5G = (5 x 9.78) = 48.9 meters/sec to the object's downward speed.During that time, it's average downward speed is 1/2 of [ Vi + (Vi + 48.9) ] = Vi + 24.45 m/s.In 5 seconds it falls 5(Vi + 24.45) = 5Vi + 122.25 meters.5Vi + 122.25 = 240 meters5Vi = 240 - 122.25 = 117.75 metersVi = 117.75 / 5 = 23.55 meters per sec.


How fast in miles per hour would an object fall after 3 seconds?

At the end of 3 seconds, a falling object is falling at 65.8 mph faster than when it was released, ignoring air resistance.


How long does it take an object to fall 176.4 meters in a vacuum?

D = 1/2 G T2T = sqrt(2D/G) = sqrt(352.8/9.8)= 6 seconds


How many meters will a 2kg ball moves starting from rest fall freely in one second?

The mass is irrelevant. If the object is in free fall (that is, air resistance can be neglected), an object will fall 4.9 meters in one second.


An 8-kg mass is in free fall. what is the velocity of the mass after 9 seconds?

An object dropped from rest will have a downward velocity of (9 g) = 88.2 meters per second after 9 seconds. Ignoring air resistance, the mass of the object is irrelevant. All masses fall with the same acceleration, and have the same downward velocity after any given period of time.
