Free Fall Motion

Free falling

Motion under force of gravity as the only force acting on the moving object

Condition of free falling

Can only take place in a vacuum

Earth gravity acceleration

9.81 m/s²

The velocity of an object that is launched upward

Its velocity decreases at a constant rate

The velocity of an object that is released from a high place

Its velocity increases at a constant rate

The quantity that does not affect the gravitational acceleration

The mass of the moving object

Force acting on a stationary object

Earth gravitational field strength (g) acting on it

Force acting on a free-falling body

Gravitational acceleration (g)

Condition where the velocity becomes zero

The object reaches the highest point (launched up vertically)

Time taken for an object to reach the maximum height

Is equal to time taken for the object fall to initial position
