If a stone is dropped from the edge of the roof how long does it take to fall 4.9m and what is its speed at the end of that fall?

There is an equation which states:
S=V0t+1/2*at2
S is the distance
V0 is the initial velocity
t is time taken
a is acceleration
In your case,
S=V0t+1/2*at2
4,9=0*t+1/2*9,8*t2
4,9/4,9=t2
1=t2
t=1 second
You can calculate the final velocity with simple equation
a=V2-V1/t
9,8=V2/1
V2=9,8m/s2

A stone is dropped from the edge of the roofHow long does it take to fall 9.8m?
It depends on how much the stone weigh. And how tall the roof is...
What will happen to a stone dropped from the roof of a single story building to the surface of the earth?
The stone would fall straight down from the release point, it would fall with steadily increasing speed, and when it hit the ground, it would stop falling. The rate at which its speed increased during the fall would be 32.2 feet per second faster every second.
Does everything fall the same speed?
In the absence of air, everything falls with the same acceleration, and reaches the same speed in the same amount of time after being dropped. If things fall through air, though, this isn't true.
Coins of different sizes dropped from the same height will fall at the same time or not?
definitely not higher the weight will accelerates at more speed due to acceleration due to gravity. Hence they fall accordingly
Who said all objects fall at the same rate of speed?
Gallelio, when he dropped two stones of unequal weight from the top of the leaning tower of Pisa.

How far does a rock fall in 9 seconds?
depends on the mass of the stone, the shape of the stone, and the height dropped from. sorry dude.
Will a stone and a feather fall with the same speed if there were no air?
both will fall at the same time
What would happen if you dropped a stone on the moon?
Umm nothin really, becuase its zero gravity and they stone would fall slowly
Which will fall first in vacuum paper or stone?
Depends on which one is dropped first. If they are both dropped at the same time, they will both reach the ground at the same time.
How long does a stone take to fall 100 meters?
it depends on the weight on the stone, the wind speed at the time, the strength of velocity, etc.
How long does it take a stone to fall 13 m?
If you get the speed of the rock then you can use Time= distance/ speed So all you need is the speed and you can work it out

In the absence of air, everything falls with the same acceleration, and reaches the same speed in the same amount of time after being dropped. If things fall through air, though, this isn't true.
What is lighter rock or paper?
Between rock and paper, paper is lighter. However if dropped from same height they do fall at the same speed.
An object is dropped and is in free fall The speed of the falling object and the distance it falls are measured every second Which of the following is correct?
The speed stays thesame but the distance stays the same.
Why does an object dropped from a certain height have more than twice the speed of an object dropped from half the height of the previous object?
Because they undergo an acceleration. Free fall velocity is the function of a square.
