If a block of wood dropped from a tall building has attained a velocity of 78.4 m/s how long has it been falling

Physics

Gravity adds 9.8 m/s to the speed of a falling object every second.

An object dropped from 'rest' (v = 0) reaches the speed of 78.4 m/s after  falling for (78.4 / 9.8) = <em>8.0 seconds</em> .

<u>Note:</u>

In order to test this, you'd have to drop the object from a really high cell- tower, building, or helicopter.  After falling for 8 seconds and reaching a speed of 78.4 m/s, it has fallen 313.6 meters (1,029 feet) straight down.

The flat roof of the Aon Center . . . the 3rd highest building in Chicago, where I used to work when it was the Amoco Corporation Building . . . is 1,076 feet above the street.

What are some differences you can spot in a periodic table?
Serggg [28]

"The position of each element in the table gives important information about its structure, properties, and behavior in chemical reactions. Specifically, an element's position in the periodic table helps you figure out its electron configuration, how the electrons are organized around the nucleus."
