If you ignore air resistance, that's about 320 meters, from s=at^2^/2, a=g=10, t=8
You're not falling straight down though.
Don't tell me what I can't do
Go ahead build a ramp just so you can fall off it for 320m
That's the spirit
I think that a Wizard Pope is one of the only people who can tell you what to do! 😜 Abra-ca-FALL-DOWN!
These stairs look so steep I deem it a good enough approximation, given I've already rounded g to 10
If you rounded g down you might have been closer with the fact they are stairs.
Are we assuming repeatedly hitting the stairs?
I've always considered vertical and horizontal movement separately, so I thought I'd have to add even more to the approximated traveled road, not decrease it.
Let us approximate stairs with a regular slope. Assume rolling down the stairs with minimal aditional horizontal movement other than the slope itself.
Ohhh, right, the ground will apply the upwards-sideways reaction force
