This simulation visualizes how an object moves when released from an initial height and falls under the influence of gravity, neglecting air resistance. This phenomenon is key to understanding the basic laws of motion in physics.
This simulation shows how an object moves when falling under the influence of gravity, neglecting air resistance.
Explore how changing parameters such as initial height and velocity affect the object's trajectory. Free fall is essential for understanding fundamental motion laws, and this simulation lets you visualize and analyze the effects of gravity.
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:
Experiment with different initial heights and gravitational accelerations to see how the object moves over time. Change parameters and observe the resulting path.
The concept of free fall is used in many real-world situations, including dropping objects from heights and analyses in astronautics.
