    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.
