    Free fall is defined as the motion of an object under the sole influence of gravity. The key concepts covered are that objects in free fall accelerate at 9.81 m/s2 towards the center of the Earth, an object dropped with an initial velocity of 0 m/s, and an object reaches its maximum height with a velocity of 0 m/s. The document provides examples of free fall problems involving calculations of final velocity, initial velocity, acceleration due to gravity, altitude, and initial altitude.

    Module 2 Free Fall

    Wednesday, 23 June 2021 11:49 am

    Topic: Free fall Where:


    ➢ Free falling object - falling object under the sole property of gravity. • Vf = Final velocity
    • V0 = Initial velocity
    • a = Acceleration
    • Y = Altitude
    • Y0 = Initial altitude = 0
    • g = gravitational acceleration
    (9.8m/s^2, other equivalent)

    Important concepts
    a. Acceleration of object in free fall = +9.81 m/s^2
    - -9.81 m/s^2 = upward direction
    b. When an object is simply dropped, its Initial Velocity (V0) = 0
    c. Velocity of an object at the peak of its trajectory (when thrown upwards) is 0 (zero)
    d. An object projected upwards in a perfectly vertical direction ----> velocity (with opposite sign)= magnitude
