Question

Could someone please explain in detail the effect of height on the time an object takes to fall?

Answer 1

yes it is potential energy

potential energy is energy virtue of its height

it depends on height

Answer 2

for explaining this we should first know about the second equation of motion with reference to gravity.

$h = ut + \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

so on the time of free fall we have to take a object on a certain height and before releasing it it is in rest so the initial velocity is "0" (zero)

now the equation we get is

$h = 0 \times t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

===========equal to==============

$h = \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

so the value of g would be "9.8" since it changes with height but there is very small change.

hence, it remains constant.

so the change would be it the "time take"

from this we get to know that as the height increase the half of the square of time taken is also increases.
