Tongue jack collapsed, TT nose crashed down - ouch!

After 3 weeks of wonderful holidays, had to pack up yesterday and drive home. Looking at the skies, dark grey rolling in, better hit the road soon. Usual stuff, put things away, disconnect service...

Acceleration due to gravity is 32 feet per second SQUARED.

(Final velocity)squared = 2*(acceleration)*(distance)

plugging in 32 ft/sec squared for acceleration and 1 foot for distance gives:

(velocity)squared = 2*32*1 =64

velocity = 8 ft/sec (about 5.5 mph)
