dammit! where do I remember m/s^2 from? hm... Thanks for trying to help, I'll see if I can come up with a more clear representation. :-)

7 meters is 22 ft which is less than 25 ft which is the spell range, or the maximum distance that the object can be lifted without losing control. 5 m is slightly more (16 ft) than the distance that it can be thrown (15 ft). Since the spell specifies the throwing distance but not direction...

Since the spell allows me to throw the object ~5 m in any direction, I could throw it up ~5 m, and then it would fall all the way from up there (12 m) instead. However, it would take more time to fall, and thus be more likely to be noticed by someone underneath, allowing more time to doge. Since...

Let's try 1a again with a metal ball? gravitation is 9.81 somethings... kg/s^2? it's been years. I thought classic physics was all about overly simplifying stuff, that's all we ever did in high school, and it was fun! :D I just remembered that a 1 kg ball will fall at the same speed as a 2 kg...

Thanks for your input. I agree that I'm oversimplifying, but remember the scope of the question. It's not to calculate what exactly would happen in the real world, only if it's significantly/qualitatively bad. I did think about the time it would take for the object to decelerate, and how if I...

Alright, so in Pathfinder (like Dungeons and Dragons) there's a spell that allows you to lift/move stuff within 25 ft with 5 pounds of force. A dagger weighs 1 pound [a rapier 2 pounds, a star dagger weighs 3 pounds]. I assume the remaining [2-]4 pounds of force wouldn't be enough to stab for...
