How fast does 8 lbs fall in one second?

Answer 1

Regardless of weight, all objects on Earth, neglecting all forces except gravity, fall with a constant acceleration of 32.2 ft/s^2. That means that in one second an object will go from a velocity of zero to 32.2 ft/s. After 2 seconds it will achieve a velocity of 64.4 ft/s, 96.6 ft/s after 3 seconds and so on and so forth ad infintum, again, neglecting all other forces like wind resistance.
