Free Fall and Gravitational Acceleration
Difficulty 4/10
~12 min
Learning Objectives
- Students will understand that all objects in free fall have the same acceleration
- Students will calculate motion of freely falling objects
- Students will understand that g = 9.8 m/s² is independent of mass
Core Concepts
- Free fall: motion under gravity alone (ignoring air resistance)
- Gravitational acceleration: g = 9.8 m/s² (constant for all objects)
- Kinematic equations apply to falling objects
