My ruling on this would be that there is no acceleration. Last peasant just drops it on ground. Thus making it pointless setup. That seems most consistent way to me.

Yet the rod traverses a mile in 6 seconds. How can that be? Without acceleration.

And who says the acceleration must be constant? It might be that it reaches maximum speed at middle and then drops to zero at end?

But really, system does not simulate such for other parts of combat. Like say tabaxi monk with haste bodying someone.
