Write the equations of motion for freely falling body.


Open in App
Solution

Step1: The three general equations of motion are


1v=u+at2s=ut+12at23v2=u2+2aswhere,uinitialvelocityvfinalvelocityaaccelerationttimesdistance.

Step2: For a freely falling body


Acceleration(a)=Accelerationduetogravity(g)Distancetravelled(s)=Heightabovethesurfaceoftheearth(h).

Thus, the equations of motion for a freely falling body is
1v=u+gt2h=ut+12gt23v2=u2+2gh.
