How does the height from which an object is dropped affect the time it takes to fall?
Since both the displacement and acceleration are negative, they cancel each other when divided, so the result is positive. As you can see, as the height displacement (height) increases, the longer it takes for the robocopter to fall.
How long did Gandalf fight Balrog?
Gandalf pursued the monster for eight days, until they climbed to the peak of Zirakzigil, where the Balrog was forced to turn and fight, its body erupting into new flame. Here they fought for two days and nights.
Why did Gandalf fear the Balrog?
The Balrog were also Maia. But while the Wizards were restricted in the power they could access while in human form, Sauron and the Balrog were not. Gandalf was afraid because he knew that the Balrog was one of the few beings who could kill him and end his mission. And he was right as the Balrog did in fact kill him.
How many balrogs are left?
In Tolkien’s later writings, he made note of the fact that there could not have ever been more than seven Balrogs, yet they were able to drive away Ungoliant in what was described as a “tempest of fire”. In another early writing, the Lord of the Balrogs was named Lungorthin.
Is Balrog stronger than Sauron?
Yes, Sauron was more powerful than the Balrogs. So, Morgoth (or Melkor) was superior to Sauron as Morgoth was one of the Valar. Balrogs are also corrupted Maiar, but they are not as high in the hierarchy as Sauron. Thus, Sauron was more powerful than any Balrog.

Why did Gandalf say I have no memory of this place?
Why didn’t he? He had been through Moria (more than once), but if memory serves he had only gone East to West, never West to East. So when he came to this place before, he may not have realized it was a fork in the road as he was coming out if the fork, not into the fork.
Who is stronger Sauron or Galadriel?
So is Galadriel, but Sauron became much stronger when he forged the ring, and isn’t just any maia, but amongst the most terrible and powerful. Galadriel was powerful, but Sauron was the most powerful non-Valar in the known Tolkien universe.
