A ball is dropped from a height of 20m. How long does it take for the ball to reach ground?
Use SUVAT. Height is 20m, initial speed is 0m/s, acceleration is 10m/s^2, and you need to find time. Therefore use s = ut + 1/2 at^2, and rearrange to get a value for t as t = 2s.

Two balls of identical size and shape are dropped from the same height. One ball has a mass of 50kg and the other has a mass of only 10kg. Why do they reach the ground at the same time?
A satellite is in orbit of the Earth, and moves at a constant orbital speed of 3055.5m/s. If it is at an altitude of 35786km, calculate the time period for a complete cycle, giving your answer in hours. Answer should be given in in 3 significant figures.
