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 would it take to go 1100 miles going 7 mph?
157.14 hours. Good luck.
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 travel 1580 miles by horse?
It depends on speed, but assuming an average of 12mph, about 130 hours
What is 6040 in expanded form?
Ah, let's take a moment to appreciate the beauty of numbers. In this case, 6040 in expanded form would be 6000 + 40. Each digit holds its own special place and value, creating a lovely harmony when expressed in this way. Just imagine the possibilities that can bloom from understanding numbers in their expanded form.
