Best Answer

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)

Acceleration rate per second of a person falling 3 seconds?

Assuming the person is in free fall, the acceleration rate would be approximately 9.8 m/s^2, which is the acceleration due to gravity. This means that the person's speed would increase by 9.8 m/s every second they are falling.


How far in feet does an object fall in 2 seconds?

An object in free fall will fall approximately 64 feet in 2 seconds.


Suppose a rock in free fall is dropped off a cliff after falling 5 seconds it speed will be 100?

The speed of the rock after 5 seconds of free fall would not be 100. The speed of an object in free fall increases by 9.8 m/s every second. After 5 seconds, the speed of the rock would be 49 m/s (approximately), assuming no air resistance.


How long would it take to fall 15 stories?

This would depend on how fast you were falling. In my opinion, it wouldn't take long at all.


How high upwards does a person have to fall downwards to absolutely die?

Well it all depends on how hard the surface you fall on. If you fall on ground the median height is usually 33 feet minimum which is roughly 3 stories high.


What height do you fall from if you fall for 6.5 seconds?

Over 9000.


How many feet will a rock fall in 3 seconds?

Ignoring air resistance, that would be about 145 feet.
