CHAPTER 2 Kinematics in One Dimension

^Full Chapter Menu

Freely falling bodies are an important case of uniform acceleration. These are objects moving under the influence of gravity alone. They are described just like any other objects except that they always have the same acceleration.

Here's a quick look at this motion.

Here's a free fall example. You'll notice that we can use the same methods and equations as we used with horizontal motion.
