The relevant equations are
d=1/2 at2 and
v = at.
Substituting t = v/a into d=1/2 at2 gives
d = v2/2a.
This formula will give the drop height d for any desired speed v.
Plugging in
v = 20mph = 8.9408m/s;
a = 9.8 m/s2 (this is the gravitational acceleration at the earth's surface)
we get
d = 4.078m = 13.38 feet.

In a head-on collision where both cars are traveling at 55 mph the combined closing speed would equal?
The bigger the tire and heavier the car the car will slide in slippery road conditions
How fast does an object fall if it takes 3 seconds to drop 200 feet?
45.5 mph
How fast does a person fall after falling from a height of 40 feet?
The answer to that is 40-56 mph i quess
How many mph are you walking if you walked 1.5 miles in 30 minutes?
1.5 miles in 30 minutes is equivalent to 3 miles in 60 mintes = 1 hour.So the average speed is 3 mph.1.5 miles in 30 minutes is equivalent to 3 miles in 60 mintes = 1 hour.So the average speed is 3 mph.1.5 miles in 30 minutes is equivalent to 3 miles in 60 mintes = 1 hour.So the average speed is 3 mph.1.5 miles in 30 minutes is equivalent to 3 miles in 60 mintes = 1 hour.So the average speed is 3 mph.
How many hours is 3000 miles equivalent to?
That depends on the speed you're travelling at in mph
