it's all there. It's in the wording.
An object falls from 12,000 ft at a rate of 1714 ft per mile travelled and travels total distance of 7 miles, how fast, in mph is the object traveling?
It would appear to me that:
Mass = 6300 lbs
Velocity = 1714 ft per mile
Height = 12,000 ft
Distance is 7 miles (36,960 ft)
It can be calculated without time but it requires starting velocity, ending velocity, acceleration and gravity.
To solve this we have to assume that 1714 ft per mile is the starting velocity. we must now find the rate of acceleration based on gravity and object weight and in turn this will give us it's final velocity over distance.
v^2=u^2+2as
V = final velocity
U = initial velocity
A = acceleration
S = distance
