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

Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

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.

Okay, so what's the formula in a Flat-earth model where gravity doesn't exist?
