In the absence of air resistance,

all bodies fall towards the earth
with the same gravitational
acceleration regardless of their
size and mass. This is an
idealized motion of falling object.
Free
Fall

The gravitational acceleration

on earth is 9.8 . The direction is
downward and towards Earth’s
center.

An object that is thrown
upward and falls back to its
starting point has two
symmetries:
4.2s 4.2s
Time symmetry: the time it
took for the object to reach
its maximum height is equal
to the time for it to fall back
to its starting point
Free
Fall

Speed symmetry: at any

displacement above the 5 5

point of release, the speed of

the body during the upward
trip equals the speed during
the downward trip.
Free
Fall

The velocity at maximum

height is ZERO but the
acceleration is still equals to
g (9.8).

A stone is thrown vertically up
with an initial velocity of 4.9
m/s from the top of a building
that is 52m high. On its way
down, it misses the top of the
building and goes straight to the
ground. Find a) its maximum
height relative to the ground, b)
the total time it is in air, and c)
its velocity just before it reaches
the ground.
