Step 1
1 of 3During free fall, the falling object is purely accelerated by gravity, ie. it accelerates at . This is acceleration, what we need is speed.
To determine the speed, we will make use of the following kinematic equation:
where:
- vf is the object's final speed;
- vi is the object's initial speed;
- a is the object's acceleration;
- t is the object's travel time.
