Calculations based on Free Fall

Free Fall:

Free fall means that an object is falling freely with no forces acting upon it except gravity, a defined constant, g = -9.8 m/s2. The distance the object falls, or height, h, is 1/2 gravity x the square of the time falling. Velocity is defined as gravity x time.

h = 1/2gt2, m

v = gt, m/s
