Does an object dropped from twice as high take twice the time to fall?

No. Objects falling on Earth in a vacuum fall at an increasing speed of 32 feet per second per second and the same object dropped from the higher level will be traveling faster during the second half of its fall, thereby it will take less than twice the time required to fall half the distance.

What is the matter of an object with a high density?
This is a solid.
What would life on earth be if the tides were twice or thrice high as they are now?
there would be alot of high and low tides
How often do high and low tides occur?
High tide is for 6 hours and low tide is for the next 6 hours,this in 24 hours the sea water rises twice and falls twice.
High tides usually occur twice each?
Most areas of the ocean have two high tides and two low tides a day (semidiurnal tide).
How often does a high tide occur?
twice in a 24 hour period. the moon controls the tides, so high tide is when the moons gravitational pull is centered on the area. the second time is when the moons gravitational pull is on the exact opposite side of the earth.
How high an object bounces depends on?
the height from which it was dropped
Can cat fly if dropped high enough?
Cats have a terminal velocity that is not fatal if they fall. In fact, if cats are dropped high enough they will spread themselves out like a parachute.
If an object has a high centre of gravity what could ensue?
If it is a tall object, it could fall over.
How fast will a 2-kg ball fall from 2 meters high?
It will fall just as fast as an object of any other mass - assuming that air resistance is negligible. That is to say, if an object has a lot of surface area, it will fall slower due to air resistance.
How do you keep an unboiled egg intact when dropped from high level?
There's no trick to that. A raw egg just naturally remains intact when dropped fromany altitude, and throughout its entire free-fall. The only problem generally arisesafter the free-fall, when it's required to stop falling.
What are the causes of fall in consumer spending?
The price of the object may be to high, the demand for the object lessens, People forgot about the store, and the people that bought an object has to save up( could have lost their job)
How long did eminem go to school for?
Eminem dropped out of high school at the age of 17 after repeating the ninth grade twice due to cutting and near-failing grades
Why does a ball dropped from a high tower fall to the base of the tower?
Due to the force of gravity. The gravitational attraction between the Earth and the ball is what causes the ball to drop.
Are the Rockies are Appalachian mountains higher?
no the rockies are more then twice as high no the rockies are more then twice as high no the rockies are more then twice as high
Why can an egg be dropped from a high point but not get broken?
? That is what I want to know?!? And also How high does an egg have to be dropped for the wind to affect it?
How high is the building if the time it takes for a lead weight dropped from the top of the building to fall the last 1.5 m before hitting the ground is .109s?
That depends on the mass of the lead weight and the time it took to cover the rest of the fall.
Why do object at high elevations have more potential energy than objects at low elevations?
Because gravity gives objects at high elevations the potential to fall much further.
