Want this question answered?
In order to come up with an answer, we have to impose a couple of rules: 1). we're trying this on the earth 2). we're ignoring the effects of air 3). it's not moving at the beginning of the 5 seconds ... that's when you drop it from your hand Then the rock falls 400 ft in five seconds. What's really interesting is that it doesn't matter how much it weighs. ALL rocks fall the same distance in 5 seconds.
depends on the mass of the stone, the shape of the stone, and the height dropped from. sorry dude.
Because this is a free fall questions, the equation d=1/2gt² can be used. Gravity is a given, 9.8 m/s² and the time is your 15 seconds of free fall. d=1/2(9.8m/s²)(15s)²= 1,102.5m. To find feet multiply 3.28084 to answer because that is how many feet are in a meter.
It depends on the size, shape and weight of the object. That's only if air drag is important. Otherwise, on Earth, Galileo showed things accelerate all at the same rate. Approximately 1/2 x 32 x 42 or 256 ft. if it started at zero speed.

It has been known since the 16th century that the mass of an object is irrelevant to how far it will fall. The main factor influencing the rate of fall is the shape of the object and, therefore, the air resistance (or buoyancy).
The answer depends on:where it is falling (if on a space ship, the answer may be 0)the extent to which air resistance affects the fall.
1,100 to 1,300 feet.
576 feet
490 meters
78.46 meters (257.4 feet)

Depends on the marshmallow and the marble... a 2g marble will have the same mass as a 2g marshmallow........
Ignoring air resistance, it would be 706 meters .
Approximately... 1108 feet. Depending on several factors.
