Acceleration Due To Gravity Problems - Dropped Objects

This activity is designed to assess your understanding of free-falling objects.

AB
If a car rolls gently (vi = 0) off a vertical cliff, how long does it take to reach 90 km/h????
A stone is dropped from the top of a cliff. It is seen to hit the ground below after 3.50 s. How high is the cliff????
Calculate how long it took King Kong to fall straight down from the top of the Empire State Building (380 m) and his velocity just before "landing".???
Chuck is riding the Giant Drop at Great America. If Chuck free falls for 2.6 s, what will be his final velocity and how far will he fall????
A feather is dropped on the moon from a height of 1.40 m. If the acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1.67 m/s^2, determine the time for the feather to fall to the surface of the moon.???
