Since velocity increases about 10 m/s every second (due to gravity), it'd be about 100 m/s. However, that number's fairly approximate and ignores air resistance.

What is the velocity of a quarter dropped from a tower after 10 seconds?

Well, isn't that just a happy little question! When a quarter is dropped from a tower, its velocity after 10 seconds can be calculated using the formula: velocity = acceleration due to gravity x time. Since the acceleration due to gravity is approximately 9.8 m/s^2, the velocity of the quarter after 10 seconds would be 98 m/s. Just imagine that quarter gracefully falling through the air, creating a beautiful moment in time.


What does uniformly accelerated linear motion mean?

If a body is uniformly accelerated, then it's velocity is changing by equal amounts in equal times. Suppose you drop a lead ball from a high tower. At the moment you drop it, its velocity is zero and it accelerates to 10 metres per second in the first second. In the fifth second for example it accelerates from 40 m/s to 50 m/s. The acceleation is ten more metres per second over each second. That is a constant acceleration. A steadily increasing velocity. In real life, the falling ball would not have constant acceleration because the faster it falls, the greater is the air resistance which tries to slow it down. If the ball falls from a high enough tower, its speed will become almost constant because the air resistance force upward will be close to the weight force downward and the acceleration will disappear. The ball reaches "terminal velocity". Linear motion is motion in a straight line, no sideways disturbances.


Did the twin towers fall at the same time?

No, the second tower (the one which was hit by the second plane) collapsed a few minutes after the first tower.


Did the twin tower hit first fall second?

In the September 11 attacks, the first plane hit the North Tower of the World Trade Center at 8:46 am, followed by the second plane hitting the South Tower at 9:03 am. The attacks resulted in both towers collapsing on the same day.


What is true about a ball falling from a height from a tower?

As the ball falls from the tower, it accelerates due to gravity. Its downward velocity increases as it falls, while its potential energy decreases. The ball's acceleration is approximately 9.81 m/s^2 (assuming no air resistance).

Who was the leader that dropped the second atomic bomb?

What do you mean, "leader"? Harry Truman was president of the US when both the first and second atomic bombs were dropped. The commander of the aircraft the "second" bomb (actually the third detonated, but the second to be "dropped" since the first was a test explosion and was not dropped but rather mounted on a tower) was dropped from was Major Charles W. Sweeney.

How much time had elapsed between the two planes crashing into the world trade tower?

Less than half hour apart. The South tower was hit second but at higher velocity and impact and it collapsed at 9:28 AM. the North tower was hit first but it collapsed last, at 10:28 AM.
