    Free fall is the motion of an object under the influence of gravity alone, with negligible air resistance. During free fall, the acceleration of all objects is equal to the gravitational acceleration of about 10 m/s2. Examples show that an object's average speed during free fall can be calculated as the average of the initial and final speeds, and the acceleration is equal to the gravitational acceleration of 10 m/s2.

    Free fall

    What is free fall?


    Acceleration is equal to gravity
    a=g
    Gravity is always equal to 10m/s (9.8m/s)

    Free Fall Conditions


    Air resistance is negligible (do not calculate air
    resistance)
    Greater mass, greater gravitational force of attraction
    between object and Earth

    Example

    Example

    What is the object average speed and


    acceleration if the object is falling initially at a
    speed of 10m/s and ends at 20m/s?

    Average Speed = average velocity over time


    - (10+20)/2 = 15m/s
    Acceleration = gravity
    - 10m/s (9.8m/s)

    Instaneous Speed
    (additonal information)
    When points of equal elevation in the path is the same
    whether the object is moving upward or downward.
    Highest point of free fall VELOCITY=0
