Write the equations of motion for a freely falling body. Also, write the meaning of symbols used in the equations.

Answer»

Equations of motion of an object under free fall:

The initial velocity of the object remains zero when the object is under free fall. In this situation, the three equations of motion i.e. v = u + gt

s = ut + gt

v2 = u2 + \(\frac{1}{2}\) gt2

v2 = u2 + 2gh will become,

ν = gt

s = \(\frac{1}{2}\)gt2 and v2 = 2gh

Here, u = final velocity, t = time, g = acceleration due to gravity, h = height attained by the body.
