All Answers: Answer #1Never, unless one stops falling - answered by centretek666 Answer #2There is not enough information to answer the question.In a vacuum, the rate of acceleration dueto gravity G is 9.8 meters per second at sealevel. So after the first second, the firstobject would be 9.8 meters from the second objectwhich is still at rest. After 1.9 seconds, thefirst object would be 27.4 meters from the secondobject. It doesn't matter what the objects are -they could be feathers or bricks - in avacuum.Diamonds have a specific gravity of 3.5,which is important because of the effects offriction from the atmosphere. You would have toprovide the pressure altitude, temperature, andhumidity of the atmosphere, as well as coefficientof drag of the diamonds, because drag of theatmosphere would affect the rate of fall of thediamonds. You would also need to know the.
