what are the equations of motions for freely falling bodies?

Open in App

Solution

Following are the equations of motion of a body falling freely under the action of gravity.
v = u + gt
S = ut + ½ gt²
v² = u² + 2gS
Where, u is the initial velocity, v is the final velocity, S is the distance covered and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
