free fall The motion of an object when it is falling solely under the influence of gravity
v naught Initial velocity
derivation Starting with something already known, and using mathematics and reasoning to come up with something brand new
slope Rise over run
acceleration due to gravity 9.8 m/sec^2
air resistance The drag that air produces on objects traveling through it
