Distance Fallen vs Time of Fall
Free Fall Under Gravity
An object released from rest near Earth's surface accelerates uniformly downward.
Formulas
d = (1/2) * g * t²
v_f = g * t
These assume no air resistance and zero initial velocity.
Example Calculation
A stone is dropped from a tall building and falls for 3 seconds.
- 01d = 0.5 * g * t²
- 02d = 0.5 * 9.81 * 9
- 03d = 44.145 m
- 04v_f = g * t = 9.81 * 3 = 29.43 m/s
