if a football would have been dropped from a 5 meter tall building how long would it take for it to fall.

Question

for science fair but have no money to test

Answer 1

Neglecting air resistance,

h = gt²/2 ⇒

t = √(2h/g)

h = height = 5m

g = acceleration of gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Plug in the numbers and get t in seconds.
