Answering this is a tough situation. I'll do it considering the effects of gravity only. We'll know that the answer can't possible be true because the effects of air resistance have been ignored. But from the question, we have no information on the size or shape of the object, so there's no way we can account for any effects of air resistance. Taking into account the effect of gravity only, the height 'H' through which an object falls due to gravity, from rest, in a period of 't' seconds is H = 1/2 G t2, where 'G' is the acceleration of gravity = 32.2 feet per second2. Solve this equation for 't': t2 = 2 H / G ===> t = sqrt( 2H / G ) = sqrt ( 2 x 1,362 / 32.2 ) = sqrt(84.6) = 9.198seconds (rounded)

Why object fall to the ground?

Gravity pulls them down. Newtons Law of Gravity: what goes up must come down. objects fall to the ground because of gravity


Why do most objects fall to the ground?

Most objects fall to the ground due to the gravitational force pulling them downwards. This force depends on the mass of the object and the acceleration due to gravity. When the only force acting on an object is gravity, it accelerates towards the Earth until it reaches the ground.


Why do objects accelerate as they fall to the ground?

Objects accelerate as they fall to the ground due to the force of gravity acting on them. As the object falls, the force of gravity causes it to increase in speed, resulting in acceleration. This acceleration is a result of the unbalanced force acting on the object.


What is terminal velocity from a 16 foot fall?

The terminal velocity from a 16 foot fall would depend on various factors such as air resistance and the mass of the falling object. In a vacuum, the object would accelerate at 9.8 m/s^2 until it hits the ground. However, in reality, terminal velocity is typically reached before the fall distance, usually around 120 mph for a human-sized object.


What causes an object to fall from a height?

Gravity causes an object to fall from a height. Without gravity, the object would just be floating in the air.


What speed of object falling from 250 feet to earth?

The speed of a falling object keeps changing as it falls. If an object falls 250 feet to the ground and there is no air, then it takes about 4 seconds to fall, and it hits the ground at about 86.5 miles per hour (127 fps). If the object falls through air, then the speed it picks up depends on its weight and shape ... a sailplane falls slower through air than a rock does, but take away the air, and a rock and a feather fall together.


Is it true an object that will hit the ground before an object that is thrown horizontally?

No, objects fall at the same rate regardless of their horizontal velocity. Both objects would hit the ground at the same time if dropped from the same height.


How does mass effect the time of a falling object?

The mass of an object does not affect the time it takes to fall to the ground in the absence of air resistance. In a vacuum, all objects fall at the same rate regardless of their mass, following Galileo's principle of free fall. However, in the presence of air resistance, the mass of the object can influence the time it takes to reach the ground.
