What is the Free Fall Calculator?

The Free Fall Calculator allows users to easily determine the final velocity and distance fallen by an object under gravity. By entering the initial velocity, time of fall, and acceleration due to gravity, the tool calculates the final speed and distance traveled, providing a clear understanding of motion under uniform acceleration. This helps students, educators, and physics enthusiasts quickly analyze free fall scenarios without manual computation.

How to Use:

1. Enter Initial Velocity (u, m/s): Input the starting speed of the object. For an object dropped from rest, enter 0.
2. Enter Time of Fall (t, s): Input how long the object has been falling.
3. Enter Acceleration due to Gravity (g, m/s²): Typically 9.8 on Earth, but you can modify for other planets.
4. Click “Calculate”: The tool computes the final velocity and distance fallen.
5. Review Result: The output shows the final speed of the object and the total distance it has fallen, along with a quick tip for understanding motion under gravity.
