Falls 44.13 m over 3.000 s.

  • The object travels 44.13 m in 3.000 seconds on Earth.
  • At impact it reaches 29.42 m/s, starting from rest.
  • That impact speed is roughly 105.9 km/h.
  • These figures assume no air resistance. Real objects reach a terminal velocity determined by size, shape, and air density.

Next stepTo account for air resistance and terminal velocity, use a projectile-motion calculator with drag coefficients.
