h=vot+(1/2)gt2, vo=0 h=(1/2)gt2 t2=2h/g t=sqrt(2h/g)=sqrt(2x490/9.8)=sqrt(100)=10 seconds

A stone was dropped off a cliff and hit the ground with a speed of 96 ft per second what is the height of the cliff?
240 ft
How high is the cliff is a stone is dropped from the top of a cliff It hits the ground below after 3.30 s?
-- At the beginning of the time, the falling speed of the stone is zero.-- After 3.30 sec, its falling speed is 32.34 meters per second (Acceleration of gravity.)-- Its average falling speed is 1/2(0 + 32.34) = 16.17 meters per second.-- The distance it falls is (average speed) x (time) = (16.17) x (3.30) = 53.361 meters = 175.2 feet(These same steps lead to the formula H = 1/2 G T2 = (0.5) (9.8) (3.3)2 = 53.361)
How high is the cliff is a stone is dropped from the top of a cliff It hits the ground below after 3.10 s?
Let Vo = initial velocity = 0 (m/s) x = vertical displacement t = time and a = gravitational constant = 9.8 meters per second squared (m/s2) x= initial velocity * time + 1/2 acceleration * time squared = Vot + (1/2)at2 = (0*3.1) + (1/2)(9.8)(3.1)(3.1) = 47.089 meters (metric) = 154.5 feet (English conversion)
A rock is dropped from a sea cliff and the sound of it striking the ocean is heard 3.8s later If the speed of sound is 340 ms how high is the cliff?
The sound moves in a second 340 metres. That is in 3.8 seconds 1292 metres. But because there is the way down to the ocean and back to the ears of the stone dropper, the distance must be half of it. The cliff is 646 metres high.
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.

What is the velocity of a stone dropped of a building 318 meters?
Ignoring any effects due to air resistance, the speed of the stone is zero at the instant it's dropped, and increases steadily to 78.98 meters per second when it hits the ground. The velocity is directed downward throughout the experiment.

What is the acceleration of the stone if it is dropped from the top of a tower?
The acceleration will be equal to the acceleration due to gravity. Unless otherwise stated, one can assume this to be 9.81 meters/seconds It has nothing to do with the mass of the stone.
When a stone is dropped into water what is the name of the spike or droplet of water that rises above the surface as a result?
I believe it is called an "Antipodal Spike".

Is Dropped like a stone a metaphor or simile?
"Dropped like a stone" is a simile because it uses "like" to compare the action of dropping to a stone.

A stone that is initially at rest is dropped from the top of a building it falls for 5.0s before hitting the ground how tall is the building?
The building is h=.5 gt^2 meters tall; that is = .5x9.8 x25 =122.5 meters.
