KINEMATICS
IN ONE DIMENSION:
FREE-FALLING BODIES
SOLVING FREE FALL
❖ Free falling bodies are also
examples of Uniformly Accelerated
Motion.
❖ Body moves under the action of the
gravitational force of the Earth (only
when resistance is NEGLECTED)
❖ Acceleration due to gravity :
9.81 m/s^2 or 32.2 ft/s^2

FREE FALL EQUATIONS
A stone dropped from a bridge
splashes into the river below
after 3.0 sec. How high is the
bridge above the river?
If a boy dropped a ball from
a certain height 7 meters
from the ground.

a) How long will it take before


the ball hits the ground?
b) How fast is it moving just
before hitting the ground?
A stone is thrown vertically upward and
returns to the ground in 12 sec.
a. Calculate the initial velocity
b. Determine the maximum height reached
by the stone.
c. At what time did it travel until it
reaches the highest point?
A stone is projected vertically upward from
the top of a 120-m high tower at a velocity of
36 m/s.
a. Determine the maximum height attained by the
stone measured from the ground.
b. How long will it take the stone to reach the
top?
c. How long will it take the stone to reach the
ground?
d. With what velocity will it hit the ground?
B
A ball thrown from the top of a
building is given an initial
velocity of 20.0 m/s straight
upward. The building is 50.0 m
high.

a. Using tA=0 as the time the


C ball leaves the thrower’s
A
hand at position A, determine
the time at which the ball
Maximum reaches its maximum height.
Height b. Find the maximum height of
D
the ball.
c. Determine the velocity of the
stone when it returns to the
height from which it was
thrown.
d. Find the velocity of it
before hitting the ground.
e. Find the total flight time.
E f. Find the velocity and
position of the stone at
t=5.00 sec.
