A falling rock in vacuum accelerates at 9.8 meters per second2 ... the acceleration of gravity at the earth's surface.
A falling rock in air has a smaller acceleration than in vacuum, because of air resistance;
the exact figure depends on the rock's weight and shape.
A falling rock in water has an even smaller acceleration than it air, because of water resistance; the exact figure again depends on the rock's weight and shape.

Is rock fall slow or fast?
Rock falls can vary in speed depending on factors such as the slope angle, size of the rocks, and extent of the fall. Some rock falls can happen quickly, with rocks descending rapidly down a slope, while others may occur more slowly, especially when smaller rocks are involved. It is important to exercise caution and be aware of the risk of rock falls in mountainous or rocky areas.
How fast does rock fall?
The speed at which a rock falls depends on its weight and shape, as well as the force of gravity acting on it. In general, a rock will accelerate at a rate of about 9.8 m/s^2 due to gravity until it reaches its terminal velocity, which can vary depending on the size and mass of the rock. On Earth, the average speed of a rock falling freely from a significant height is around 53 m/s.
Which would fall first a rock or a piece of paper?
A rock would fall first due to its higher mass and weight compared to a piece of paper. The rock is more affected by gravity and will experience a stronger downward force than the paper.
Suppose a rock in free fall is dropped off a cliff after falling 5 seconds it speed will be 100?
The speed of the rock after 5 seconds of free fall would not be 100. The speed of an object in free fall increases by 9.8 m/s every second. After 5 seconds, the speed of the rock would be 49 m/s (approximately), assuming no air resistance.
Why does a rock fall faster to the ground than a feather?
A rock falls faster than a feather due to differences in their mass and air resistance. Air resistance affects the feather more than the rock due to its larger surface area and lighter mass, causing the feather to fall more slowly.
How fast will a rock fall?
it depends on how high you are

How do rocks get worn away by the sea?
It gets worn away by the sea because it is simply eroded which mean when water is moving fast the waves crash against the rock and bits fall off into the sea. when this happens the waves carry the pieces of rock away and they end up on a beach as sand or at the bottom of the ocean.
How fast does angel falls fall?
very fast how fast can u fall
What is the name of the rock beneath the ocean called?
the rock beneath the ocean is basalt
What causes waterfalls to form along the fall line?
well the lakes at the top has to be going fast enough or kinda go slow but fast at the same time because if it went to fast i would be well bigger explosion at the bottom and if it went to slow it would not even make it!
What happens if an extrusive igneous rock goes in the ocean and wind acts on it?
The extrusive igneous rock will float because that extrusive rock got cooled down fast then a regular extrusive. When the wind acted on it, it get cool down fast and the gases from the volcano gets trap in the rock and the weight of that rock is light. Also water and gases have different density so the gases in the rock will be pushed upward and the rock will float because of the weight and the gases in the rock. (P.s only a prediction)
