Free Fall Simulation

This simulation visualizes how an object moves when it is released from an initial height and falls under the influence of gravity, ignoring air resistance. This phenomenon is essential for understanding the basic laws of motion in physics.

This simulation shows how an object moves when falling under the influence of gravity, ignoring air resistance.

Explore how changing parameters such as initial height and velocity affects the trajectory of the object. Free fall is crucial for understanding the fundamental laws of motion in physics, and this simulation allows you to visualize and analyze the effects of gravity.

Theory

Free fall describes the motion of an object falling under the influence of gravity. The basic equations include:


    v = u + g·t

    s = u·t + 1/2·g·t²

    Where:

    
        v is the final velocity
        u is the initial velocity
        g is the acceleration due to gravity
        t is time
        s is the distance traveled
    

    Interactivity
    Experiment with different initial heights and accelerations to see how the object moves over time. Change parameters and observe how the trajectory changes.

    Practical Applications
    The concept of free fall is used in many real-world situations, including objects falling from heights and analyses in astronautics.
