2.3 Freely Falling Bodies | General Physics

Freely Falling Bodies
Chad provides a physics lesson on freely falling bodies and gives several free-fall motion problems with solutions. These involve a special case of constant acceleration as the acceleration due to gravity, provided an object is somewhat near to the surface of the Earth, is fairly constant having a value of 9.8m/s^2. Free fall motion is just a specific example of kinematics in one dimension with constant acceleration, and the same four physics equations that were introduced for uniform acceleration in the last lesson are once again used here. The free fall motion examples Chad selects provide students the opportunity to solve for displacement, final velocity, and time so that students can feel comfortable that they've been exposed to a wide variety of free fall motion physics problems.
