1. No it does not as the rock will accelerate downwards (because of gravity) but we can also see that at the first second the rock fell 16 feet compared to the 2 to 3 seconds gap where it fell 80 feet (144-64).
2. All the way down to the ground. Each time gap is getting bigger and bigger (it's accelerating) and the gap between 5 and 6 s should be bigger than 4 to 5 and it is not as the rock cannot fall through the ground but only hit the ground
you may have to change the english a bit and english is not my first language
Subtract 7.5 from 24 to get the remaining amount of wall that has no picture frame covering it. 24 - 7.5 = 16.5. You then would divide 16.5 by 2 as there are two sides on either side of the painting that need to be covered. 16.5 / 2 = 8.25. To check yourself: 8.25 + 8.25 + 7.5 = 24.
