Motion of a
Freely
Falling Body
Objectives
► Explain
Galileo’s theory of motion and
Newton’s laws of motion.
► Apply all the equation for motion of an
object in free fall.
► To solve problems on free falling bodies
and the acceleration of gravity.
Galileo
►The
remarkable
observation that all
free falling objects
fall at the same rate
was first proposed
by Galileo, nearly
400 years ago.
►Galileo
conducted experiments
using a ball on an inclined plane to
determine the relationship between
the time and distance traveled.
Galileo
►He
found that the
distance depended
on the square of the
time and that the
velocity increased as
the ball moved
down the incline.
►The
relationship was the same
regardless of the mass of the ball
used in the experiment.
► The
Galileo
story that Galileo
demonstrated his
findings by dropping two
cannon balls off the
Leaning Tower of Pisa is
just a legend.
► However, if the
experiment had been
attempted, he would
have observed that one
ball hit before the other!
Introduction to Free Fall
A free-falling object is an object which is
falling under the sole influence of gravity.
► That is to say that any object which is
moving and being acted upon only be the
force of gravity is said to be "in a state of
free fall."
► This definition of free fall leads to two
important characteristics about a freefalling object:
 Free-falling objects do not encounter air
resistance.
 All free-falling objects (on Earth)
►
Freely Falling Body
►
►
►
The acceleration of freely falling body
is so important that physicist called it
acceleration due to gravity.
Denoted by letter g which is
equivalent to 32ft/sec2 or 9.8m/sec2.
Meaning in the 1st second, a falling
body accelerates from a stationary
position to a velocity of 9.8m/sec2,
after 2 seconds, the velocity is
doubled to 19.6m/sec2 after 3
seconds it triples to 29.4m/sec2
Freely Falling Body
►
►
►
Since accelerating objects are
constantly changing their velocity,
you can say that the distance
traveled divided by the time taken to
travel that distance is not a constant
value.
A falling object for instance usually
accelerates as it falls.
The fact that the distance which the
object travels every interval of time
is increasing is a sure sign that the
ball is speeding up as it falls
downward
A simple rule to bear in mind
► is
that all objects
(regardless of their mass)
experience the same
acceleration when in a state
of free fall.
► When the only force is
gravity, the acceleration is
the same value for all
objects.
► On Earth, this acceleration
value is 9.8 m/s/s that it is
given a special name - the
Newton
►Newton's
first law the law of
interaction states
that for every
action there's an
equal and opposite
reaction.
Newton
► Newton's
second law the law of
acceleration states
that the acceleration
of an object is directly
related to the net
force and inversely
related to its mass.
Newton’s Law of Acceleration
► Fnet
=m*a
►A=F/m
Acceleration depends upon two
factors: force and mass.
► The
10-kg elephant obviously
has more mass (or inertia).
This increased mass has an
inverse effect upon the
elephant's acceleration.
► And thus, the direct effect of
greater force on the 10-kg
elephant is offset by the
inverse effect of the greater
mass of the 10-kg elephant;
and so each object accelerates
at the same rate approximately 10 m/s/s.
One Newton is defined as the amount of
force required to give a 1-kg mass an
acceleration of 1 m/s/s.

Free Fall and the Acceleration of
Gravity
► Free-falling
objects are in a state
of acceleration.
► The velocity of a free-falling object
is changing by approximately 10
m/s every second.
► If dropped from a position of rest,
the object will be traveling
approximately 10 m/s at the end
of the first second, approximately
20 m/s at the end of the second
second, approximately 30 m/s at
the end of the third second, etc.

Gravity

► Solution
► At
t=6s
► vf = (10 m/s2) (6 s)
►
= 60 m/s
► At
t=8s
► vf = (10 m/s2) (8 s)
►
= 80 m/s
Velocity of Freely Falling Body

►
►
If you were to observe the
motion of a free-falling
object you would notice that
the object averages a
velocity of
5 m/s in the first second,
15 m/s in the second
second,
25 m/s in the third second,
35 m/s in the fourth second,
etc.
Distance
► The
distance which a free-falling
object has fallen from a position
of rest is also dependent upon
the time of fall.
► This distance can be computed
by use of a formula; the
distance fallen after a time of t
seconds is given by the formula.
d = 0.5 g t2
► where g is the acceleration of
gravity

d = (0.5) (10 m/s2) (2 s)2
= 20 m
At t = 5 s
d = (0.5) (10 m/s2) (5 s)2
= 125 m
Distance
Given these average velocity
values during each consecutive
1-second time interval, the
object falls:
► – 5 meters in the first second,
– 15 meters in the second
second (for a total distance of
20 meters),
– 25 meters in the third second
(for a total distance of 45
meters),
– 35 meters in the fourth second
(for a total distance of 80
meters).

The table illustrates that a free-falling object
which is accelerating at a constant rate will
cover different distances in each consecutive
second.
Further analysis of the first and last columns of
the table above reveal that there is a square
relationship between the total distance traveled
and the time of travel for an object starting
from rest and moving with a constant
acceleration.
For objects with a constant acceleration, the
distance of travel is directly proportional to the
square of the time of travel.

OF PRESENTATION
►
A bowling ball falls
freely (near the
surface of the
Earth) from rest.
How far does it fall
in 4 seconds, and
how fast will it be
going at that time?
The ball's average speed for the first 4 seconds is the
average of 0 m/s and 40 m/s, its starting and ending
speeds, and distance = average speed times time.
► So the object will have fallen 80 meters, and its
speed will be 40 m/s.
►
►
The position of a free-falling body (neglect air
resistance) under the influence of gravity can be
represented by the function
1 2
s (t )  gt  v0t  s0
2
where g is the acceleration due to gravity (on
earth ) and s0 and v0 are the initial height and
velocity of the object (when ).
► Example
(Falling Object Problem) A ball is
thrown vertically upward from the ground with
an initial velocity of 160 ft/s.
(a) When will it hit the ground?
Solution. Since with and we need

and
we need
This is precisely when or and thus the ball will
hit the ground in 10 seconds.
This illustrates that a free-falling object which is
accelerating at a constant rate will cover
different distances in each consecutiveTotal

As such, if an object travels for twice the time, it will
cover four times (22) the distance; the total distance
traveled after two seconds is four times the total distance
traveled after one second.
If an object travels for three times the time, then it will
cover nine times (32) the distance; the distance traveled
after three seconds is nine times the distance traveled
after one second.
Finally, if an object travels for four times the time, then it
will cover sixteen times (42) the distance; the distance
traveled after four seconds is sixteen times the distance
traveled after one second.
