What is Free Fall ?

Motion under the

influence
of gravity with
the
same
acceleration

Same rate acceleration (9.8 or 10

m/s/s)

The only force

that acts on it is
No initial velocity gravity (air
No air resistance resistance is
negligible )
2 types

No initial velocity
resistance

No air

Example
A guy drops a ball weight 20N from the top of the 30
metres tall building. How long does it take the ball to
reach the ground?

d = 1/2gt2
d= 30 m
g= 10 m/s
t= ?

30 = (10)t2
30 = 5t2
30/5 = t2
6 = t2
t= 2.44 s
