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

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.

A freight train leaves the train station 4hrs before a passenger train. The two trains are traveling in the same direction on pa
enot [183]
It can be said that most of the required information's are already given in the question. 
Let us assume the speed of the passenger train = x
Speed of the freight train = y
x = y + 40
The second equation will be 
6 * x = 10 * y
6x = 10y
Dividing both sides by 2, we get
3x = 5y
x = 5y/3
Putting the value of "x" in the first equation, we get
x = y + 40
5y/3 = y + 40
5y = 3y + 120
5y - 3y = 120
2y = 120
y = 60 mph
Putting the value of y in the first equation, we get
x = y + 40
   = 60 + 40
   = 100 mph
From the above deduction, we can conclude that the passenger train is traveling at 100 mph and the freight train is traveling at 60 mph.

The answer would be Gravity.

Gravity is pulling the weight down, which is pulling the car up the ramp.
