Disregarding air resistance, what is the speed of a ball dropped from 12 feet just before it hits the ground? (Use 1 ft = 0.30 m, and use g = 9.8 m/s2.)
The speed is 44.4... repeating metres per second.
The current will take the path of least resistance.

Neglecting air resistance, the force on the coin is constant, whether the coin is moving up, moving down, stopped at its peak, or lying on the ground. The force is the force of gravity attracting the coin to the center of the earth. The force is technically known as the coin's "weight". While the coin is in the air, that's the one and only force acting on it, and its magnitude doesn't change.
Ignoring air resistance ... Any object dropped near the Earth's surface reaches a speed of 43.9 feet per second after falling 30 feet. The velocity is 43.9 feet per second down. The object's weight makes no difference.
Fired ammunition from a firearm reaches a much higher initial velocity due to explosive propellant forces. In contrast, ammunition dropped from a high altitude reaches a terminal velocity where gravity pulling down is balanced by air resistance pushing up. The fired bullet maintains its higher velocity until slowed by air resistance and gravity, while dropped ammunition reaches a constant speed due to these opposing forces.
The speed is 44.4... repeating metres per second.

No
A Base-isolated designed building reduces the amount of energy that reaches the building during an earthquake. For older buildings they are retrofitted for earthquakes.
terminal velocity
yes. If the forces acting on the a moving particle are in equilibrium, (e.g. when a spherical object reaches terminal velocity (neglecting increased air resistance as it gets closer to the ground)) then the particle will be moving at a velocity, that is not 0, yet the velocity will remain constant, and the body will not accelerate or decelerate in any direction, and thus the acceleration is 0.
