Straight Line
You can use the formulae for constant acceleration to model an object moving vertically in a
straight line under the influence of gravity
Gravity causes objects to fall to the earth! (as you probably already know!)
 The acceleration caused by gravity is constant (if you ignore air resistance)
 This means the acceleration will be the same, regardless of the size of the object
 On Earth, the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8ms-2, correct to 2 significant figures.
 When solving problems involving vertical motion you must carefully consider the direction. As
gravity acts in a downwards direction:
- An object thrown downwards will have an acceleration of 9.8ms-2
- An object thrown upwards will have an acceleration of -9.8ms-2
 The ‘time of flight’ is the length of time an object spends in the air. The speed of projection is
another name for the object’s initial speed (u)
