the force of gravity acting on both is the same (9.81m/s^2).

In the absence of any wind resistance two items dropped from the same height will accelerate at the same rate.

There is a video somewhere of a hammer and feather being dropped on the surface of the moon. They fall and hit the surface at the same time due to the moon having no atmosphere. Even though the gravity of the moon is approximately 1/6th of that on Earth.

When You Drop An Object From A Certain Height It Takes Time T To Reach The Ground With No Air Resistance. If You Dropped It From Three Times That Height How Long Would It Take To Reach The Ground?

When an object is dropped from a certain height, the time it takes to reach the ground is independent of the height (assuming no air resistance). Therefore, whether you drop the object from three times the initial height or the original height, it will still take the same time (T) to reach the ground.


How fast does a person fall after falling from a height of 25 feet?

A person falling from a height of 25 feet will reach a speed of approximately 31 feet per second (or 21 miles per hour) when they hit the ground. This speed is reached due to the acceleration caused by gravity.


How long does it take to reach terminal velocity when falling from a height?

Terminal velocity is typically reached within 10-12 seconds when falling from a height, depending on factors such as air resistance and the height of the fall.


Formula for time of falling object?

The formula for the time it takes for a falling object to reach the ground is given by the equation t = √(2h/g), where t is the time in seconds, h is the height of the object in meters, and g is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.81 m/s^2).


Am arrow is shot straight up at an initial velocity of 250 m s how long will it take to hit the ground?

Assuming no air resistance, the arrow will take approximately 5 seconds to hit the ground because it will reach its maximum height before falling back down due to gravity. The total time for the arrow to travel up and back down is twice the time it takes to reach the maximum height.

How can height affect the time for an object to fall?

The acceleration of gravity is 32 feet per second, per second. This means that --eliminating any obvious aerodynamic considerations as there would be with, say, a feather -- the speed at which an object falls increases proportionately to the time it is falling. An object falling from a greater height will be falling for a longer time period and thus will reach a higher velocity and impact the ground with a greater force than one falling from a lower height.


What is the maximum speed a cat can reach when falling from a great height, also known as its terminal velocity?

The maximum speed a cat can reach when falling from a great height, also known as its terminal velocity, is around 60 miles per hour.

Yes.

How long does it take for a droplet of rain to reach the Earth?

It depends on the size of the raindrop and the height at which it forms. The larger the raindrop, the faster it will fall. The rain falling to earth begins in clouds as fine droplets, which begin falling very slowly and then collect to form larger drops that fall faster. During the fall, the drops will break up and reform, so the falling speed can vary from 5-20 miles per hour. Rain could take anything from a few minutes to 20+ minutes depending on drop size, height and wind.


Is a falling star a meteor or meteorite?

A falling star is a meteor. A meteorite is a meteor that has hit the ground.
