Free Fall and Equations of Motion

The document discusses free fall and equations of motion. It asks what the vertical acceleration of an object in free fall is, and what the four equations of motion are. It also provides examples of calculating the velocity and height of objects in free fall, such as a coin dropped from the Eiffel Tower and a ball thrown vertically upwards.

Free fall and equations of motion

What is the vertical acceleration of an object in free fall?

What is the acceleration of horizontal object falling under the influence of gravity alone?

What are the four equations of motion?

A coin is dropped from the top of the Eiffel tower. Assuming it continues to accelerate all the way to the ground. At what velocity will it hit the pavement below? (The Eiffel tower is 334m high)

Why will the coin not actually reach this speed?

A ball is thrown vertically upwards. It leaves the persons hand at speed of 3m/s. What height will it reach before it comes back down?

At what speed will it return to the throwers hand?

A parachutist reaches a speed of 54m/s during free fall. How long does it take him to do this?
