How long would it take to fall 6000 ft? - Answers

Well, roughly, it depends on weight, but not at first. Initially you fall at the acceleration of gravity at 32 feet per second per second. Velocity is acceleration x time and you reach a terminal velocity of about 110 mph depending on weight, or about 160 feet per second. Thus it takes 160/32= 5 seconds to reach that speed; then the sped is constant due to (drag) at 160 feet per second. You would have traveled s = 1/2 accel x time squared = 32/2 x 5x5 = 400 feet. You have 5600 feet to go and s = vt = 5600; t = 5600/160 = 35 seconds. Total time is 35 + 5 = 40 seconds
