Well, roughly, it depends on weight, but not at first.
Initially you fall at the acceleration of gravity at 32 feet per second per second. Velocity is acceleration x time and you reach a terminal velocity of about 110 mph depending on weight, or about 160 feet per second. Thus it takes 160/32= 5 seconds to reach that speed; then the sped is constant due to (drag) at 160 feet per second. You would have traveled s = 1/2 accel x time squared = 32/2 x 5x5 = 400 feet. You have 5600 feet to go and s = vt = 5600; t = 5600/160 = 35 seconds. Total time is 35 + 5 = 40 seconds

How long would it take to cover 466 miles in the car?
It depends on how fast you are traveling. If you were going 466mph then it would take an hour. If you were going 1mpg then it would take 19 days 10 hours. If you were going 70mph it would take 6 hours 46 minutes.

How long does it take to free fall 1200 feet?
After 5 seconds your speed is about 160 feet per second due to gravity speed = gt = 32 x 5 = 160 You travel a distance in 5 seconds of 1/2gt^2 = 400 feet After that it depends on weight but due to air resistance speed is constant near 160 feet per second so to go next 800 feet takes about 5 seconds Total time = 10 seconds to free fall 1200 feet If there were no air, it would take take only about 8.5 seconds
How long would it take to go 1100 miles going 7 mph?
157.14 hours. Good luck.
How long would it take to travel 1580 miles by horse?
It depends on speed, but assuming an average of 12mph, about 130 hours
How long does it take to fly 6000 miles?
A plane goes at approximately 500 mph, so it would take around 12 hours to go 6000 miles.
How long would it take to drive 6000 miles?
92 hours 18 minutes.
If you made 9.30 per hour how long would it take to make 6000?
I hope this question is a joke but it would be 6000/9.30 = 645 hours. Assuming no tax of course.
How long would ittake to travel 112.06 miles on train?
That depends on your speed.
How long does it take to drive 6000 miles?
Driving at the speed limit of 75mph, it would take 80 hours or 4 days
How long would it take to fall though the earth with air resistance?
it just won't take long
How long would it take to fall 15 stories?
This would depend on how fast you were falling. In my opinion, it wouldn't take long at all.
