I counted 2 seconds before we hear the thud. According to my calculations, he would've fallen approximately 19.62 meters in 2 seconds. He could be in heaven now. Amen
The distance an object falls in 2 seconds can be calculated using the formula: d = \frac{1}{2}gt^2 Where:
- d = distance
- g = acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.81 m/s² near the surface of the Earth)
- t = time Using this formula, the distance an object falls in 2 seconds can be calculated as follows:
d = \frac{1}{2} \times 9.81 \times 2^2
d = \frac{1}{2} \times 9.81 \times 4
d = 4.905 \times 4
d = 19.62 \, meters
So, an object in free fall near the surface of the Earth would fall approximately 19.62 meters in 2 seconds.
