The relative speed is 10 mph; based on this, use the formula distance = speed x time. Solving for time: time = distance / speed. If distances are in miles, and speeds in mph, the time will obviously be in hours.
No, it was roughly one-quarter that distance.
It should fall to a quarter.
For long distance its between the Thoroughbred and the Mustang but in a quarter mile its the American Quarter Horse (that's whay its their name)

Interestingly, the distance varies from a hundred yards (or less ) to a quarter of a mile (or more!).
Gravity falls as an inverse square of the distance between centres of bodies. In this case doubling the distance apart reduces the attraction to one quarter.
Doubling the distance reduces the force of gravity to one quarter its original.
Gravity is reduced by the inverse of the square of the distance between the two bodies. Double the distance reduce the gravity by one quarter.
Short answer: should be one-fourth of the distance. Long answer: You can solve with with the equation v^2 = u^2 + 2as We know that the final velocity is zero s = -u^2/2a When we sub in u = 1/2 u, it becomes a quarter of the original displacement. So, it will travel a quarter of the distance.
The force (weight) between the person and earth diminishes with distance. eg double the distance, quarter the force.
The force of gravity between them decreases. The force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance. This means that, for instance, if the distance doubles the force with be one quarter. If the distance is ten times as great the force will be one one-hundredth as big.
This type of quarter was designed by Hermon A. MacNeil. The M is MacNeil's initial.
