 Objectives:

a. Describe Uniformly accelerated

Motion in vertical dimension.
b. Calculate the height covered by a
free falling objects.
 Free fall
(vertical
dimension)
 Unlocking of terms:
Gravity – A force that causes things to fall towards the earth.
initial velocity - velocity at rest
acceleration - a rate of change of velocity with respect to
time.
Height – distance above a level or surface.
ag- acceleration due to gravity, points towards the ground.
9.8 m/s 2 -- a numerical value of acceleration due to gravity.
7. vertical motion- motion perpendicular to the ground.
 Students
perform the
Activity given.
 Free-Fall Motion

“Free-fall” motion is a Uniformly

Accelerated Motion that takes
place in a vertical direction.
Anytime an object moves
vertically, either going upwards,
or going downwards, we say it is
in Free-fall.
If the body maintains a constant
change in its velocity in a given
time interval along a straight
line then the body is said to
have a uniform acceleration.
d =vi t + 1/2 at2 (horizontal)
 h= vi t + 1/2 agt2 (vertical)
 The constant acceleration of the object is
ALWAYS directed downwards due to the
influence of Earth’s gravity; the acceleration due
to gravity on Earth is referred to as “g”, and has a
value of 9.8 m/s2. Because of sign conventions,
where we choose up to be the positive direction
and down to be the negative, we will say that, in
Free-fall, the vertical acceleration of an object is -
g = -9.8 m/s2. [Recall: the negative sign indicates
that the direction of the acceleration is
downwards.]
The velocity is positive when
the object is moving
upwards, and negative when
the object is moving
downwards.
● If an object is “dropped”, its
initial velocity = 0
