Acceleration Due to Gravity

One common constant acceleration situation is a body in free fall. The acceleration
due to gravity is constant near the surface of the earth.

This value is only constant to two significant figures for a few kilometers from the
earth’s surface and in the absence of the air friction. Under those conditions the
distance traveled in free fall is assuming the positive direction to be downward.

Two - Dimensional Motion

Projectile Motion
In an air resistance free, a projectile sent off at an angle 0 above the horizontal with
an initial velocity, will have a range R equal to:

Gravitation
In Newton’s Law of Gravitation, it states that, every body in the universe attracts
every other body with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their
masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
