    A frog falls from a rainforest tree. If we ignore wind resistance how long does it take the frog to fall from a distance of 12 meters?

    free fall (cuz we are ignoring the wind resistance )

    summation of forces = m * a
    m*g = m * a (weight is the only acting force during free fall)

    => a = 9.8

    x = 0.5 * a * t^2... solve for t

    t = 1.564 sec
