all objects fall at the same rate regardless of horizontal motion (unless they experience a vertical force, such as being shot at an angle).

hmm
number 5..

the size of the square is 10000*10000 = 1e8
twice the size: 2e8
then the length should be suare root of 2e8.

did I do something wrong?

Yeah I got 200,000,000 square meters for the area

I took the square root of that and got: 14142.135623730950488016887242097

Is that right?

Isn't it 10m per second? But i forgot the weight that falls at that rate.

It obviously depends on where the object is, but on most places on earth, the acceleration of gravity of about 9.8 m/s^2.
