Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How do you calculate free fall velocity?
- To calculate free fall velocity use the formula V = v₀ + gt, where v₀ is the initial velocity, t is the time of fall and g is the gravitational acceleration.
How do you calculate impact velocity?
- To calculate impact velocity use the formula V = √(2gh), where h is the height, and g is the gravitational acceleration.
What is free fall?
- Free fall, in terms of Newtonian physics, applies to the motion of an object where gravity is the only force acting upon it.
Do heavier objects fall faster?
- All objects fall freely at the same rate irrespective of mass. Objects that are heavier will hit the ground faster, due to air resistance. The air resistance is an upward force of friction, acting against gravity and slowing down the fall rate.
