That completely depends on the shape of the object. It should be easy to find a lead sinker and a piece of cloth with the same weight as the sinker. Drop them both out of a second-floor window, and you'll see that the effects of air resistance have nothing to do with the object's weight, but a lot to do with its shape.

If an object is thrown up at an initial speed of 9.8 m per sec how long will it take to fall back to the ground?

If it leaves your hand with a vertical velocity of 9.8 m/sec, its speed drops to zero after 1 second and it begins to fall. After one more second, it returns to the height where it left your hand. (We don't know how much farther it has to fall to hit the ground.)


How far will a freely falling object fall from rest in 1 second?

Assuming the object is falling near the surface of the Earth and neglecting air resistance, the object will fall approximately 4.9 meters in 1 second. This calculation is based on the acceleration due to gravity, which is approximately 9.8 meters per second squared.


How far does an object fall in .25 seconds?

Assuming the object starts from rest, the distance an object falls in 0.25 seconds can be calculated using the equation ( d = \frac{1}{2}gt^2 ), where (d) is the distance, (g) is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²), and (t) is the time. Substituting the values, the object would fall approximately 0.31 meters in 0.25 seconds.


How far will a freely falling object fall from a position of rest in 5 sec?

A freely falling object will fall approximately 122.5 meters in 5 seconds assuming no air resistance. This value can be calculated using the formula d = 0.5 * g * t^2, where d is the distance fallen, g is acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.81 m/s^2), and t is the time in seconds.


What is the numerical ratio of a velocity to speed of an object?

Velocity is an object's Speed + Direction. For example, a cannon ball fired up at 45o to the ground may have a speed of 1000 ft/sec. However, its forward Velocity is:(1000 ft/sec) x (Sine 45o) = (1000 ft/sec) x (.707)= 707 ft/secSo, the ratio of the horizontal Velocity to the instantaneous Speed of the object is the SINE value of the angle of motion relative to the Horizontal axis.But you have to remember that there is a Vertical component of the object's Speed as well. In this case, the ratio is the COSINE 45o , which happens to be .707 as well. So the ball is going forward at 707 ft/sec, and upward at 707 ft/sec. at the same time.

How far in meters does an object fall in 2 seconds?

if the object is falling straight then the force from which the ball is falling toward earth is the gravitational force of the earth that is 9.81 m/sec2. so by formula we have, speed=distance/time ,also distance=speed*time here if the ball is freely falling that is no external force is applied on ball then the s=gravitational pull and time given is 2 sec there for in 2 sec the object fall ; d=9.8 m/sec2 *2 sec d=18.36 m(approx) if any other suggestion then do tell me I am no expert but I do believe the correct formula to use for this situation is d=1/2 gt2. The formula above will only work for example if you are traveling at a constant velocity in a car of 9.8 meters per second. You need to take into account that an object in free fall is constantly accelerating and not in a constant motion. The correct answer should be closer to 19.6 m.

How long does it take to fall 200 feet?

just over 3 seconds. 32.2 ft/sec/sec not calculating in acceleration to terminal velocity. the 1st sec = 1 * 32.2ft + the 2nd sec = 2 * 64.4ft + the 3rd sec = 3 * 96.6ft = almost 200ft


If thhe distance traveled for an object moving 70 feet per second would be how many feet?

You also need to know how long it travels. Just multiply the speed with the time. For instance, if the object moves at 70 feet/sec during 1 minute, you multiply: 70 ft/sec x 1 minute = 70 ft/sec x 60 sec. = 4200 feet.

How far do you travel at 45 mph in 1 sec?

1 min = 60 sec 1 hour = 60 min = 60 × 60 = 3600 sec → 1 sec = 1/3600 hr distance = speed × time = 45 mph × 1 second = 45 mph × 1/3600 hr = 45 × 1/3600 miles = 1/80 mile = 1 chain = 22 yards = 66 feet
