From a height of 500 m, the body will fall g = 10 m / s 2 find the fall time.

H = 500 meters – the height from which the body falls;

g = 10 meters per second squared – gravitational acceleration (constant near the earth’s surface).

It is required to determine t (second) – the fall time.

So in the condition of the problem it is not specified, we assume that the body falls without initial velocity. Then:

H = g * t ^ 2/2, from here we find:

t = (2 * H / g) ^ 0.5 = (2 * 500/10) ^ 0.5 = (1000/10) ^ 0.5 = 100 ^ 0.5 = 10 seconds.

Answer: from a height of 500 meters, the body will fall in 10 seconds.
