Title: How do yo calculate how long would take for an object to fall? Post by: XinXan on June 11, 2015, 04:00:11 PM Say a ball of 1Kg, you let it fall (frefall) from 50 meters, how long does it take to reach the ground? Whats the formula

Whats the formula If you ignore the resistance of the air then the formula you're looking for is: distance = initial velocity (0 if the object is dropped) • time + ½ • gravity • time^2 from there you can calculate time.
