Study Notes

Free Fall and Gravity

Free fall refers to the motion of an object falling solely under the influence of gravity, without any air resistance.
The acceleration due to gravity is caused by the gravitational pull exerted by the Earth on objects.
On Earth, the value of acceleration due to gravity, denoted by 'g', is approximately 9.81 m/s².
When an object is dropped and falls solely under gravitational influence, this movement is called free fall.
The force of gravity is the primary factor producing acceleration in an object falling freely towards the Earth’s surface.
