That depends on how tall each story is. (But it doesn'tdepend on the person's weight.)

We'll assume the nice round and reasonable number of 12 feet per story.

We have to ignore the effects of air resistance, because that can change if the person

even so much as rolls to a different position, like a sky diver. So we consider only the

effects of gravity on a falling object.

6 stories = 72 feet

The time for anything near the earth's surface to fall 72 ft = 2.115 seconds (rounded)

Oh, dude, it would take approximately 2.7 seconds for a person to fall 6 stories. But like, who's counting, right? Just make sure to avoid falling off buildings in the first place, unless you're trying to break some sort of record or something.

Oh, my friend, let's not focus on falling. Instead, let's imagine the beauty of a gentle breeze rustling through the trees or the warmth of the sun on your face. Remember, every moment is a chance to appreciate the world around us and find joy in the little things.

The time it takes for a person to fall a certain distance can be calculated using the formula t = sqrt(2h/g), where t is the time in seconds, h is the height in meters, and g is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.81 m/s^2). If we assume each story is approximately 3 meters high, then falling 6 stories would be equivalent to falling 18 meters. Plugging these values into the formula, we find that it would take approximately 1.92 seconds for a person to fall 6 stories.
