Best Answer

On earth (ignoring general relativity, and ignoring air resistance), using Newtonian formulae, acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s

s=ut+1/2at^2

s=distance=?, u=starting speed=0, t=time=10x60 seconds, a=acceleration, t=time

s=0+1/2x9.81x600^2

using a calculator..

1765800 meters

This answer would be more or less true in a uniform gravitational field in vacuum, which Earth is neither

maximum speed under air resistance for a human body is roughly 300 km/h

under air resistance, d=st, d=83 (m/s) x 600 (seconds) = 50 000 meters

neither of these answers would reflect reality, as the density of the atmosphere is also not constant...

How far in feet or meters can one fall before having a heart attack?

There can really be no straight answer to this question, as the factors involved would be mainly psychological. Physiologically, there is no stress from falling; astronauts are essentially "falling" the entire time that they're in microgravity. Skydivers can fall until they hit the ground or open their parachute. What would cause a heart attack during freefall (if anything) would be the psychological stress of it, and both the psychological stress and physiological response to the stress of freefall would vary tremendously from person to person.


How far is 5km's in minutes?

In order to calculate how many minutes it would take someone to travel 5 kilometers you need to know the speed the person is traveling at. For example if the person is traveling at a speed of 60 kilometers an hour it would take them 5 minutes to travel 5 kilometers.
