EM For Free Fall

The document outlines the equations of motion for free fall, emphasizing the use of acceleration due to gravity (ay = -g) and the absence of horizontal acceleration (ax = 0). It provides formulas for velocity and displacement in both vertical and horizontal motions, along with sign conventions for upward and downward directions. The equations include v = v0 + at, vy = v0y - gt, and s = v0t + ½at², among others.

Equations of motion for free fall

Linear motion Free fall, Using ay = -g, ax = 0


v = v0 + a t vy = v0y  g t
v2 = v02 + 2 a s vy2 = v0y2  2 g y
s = v0 t + ½ a t2 y = v0y t  ½ g t2

Sign Conventions

upwards
y=+
vy, v0y = +
ay = g
origin
downwards
y=
vy, v0y = 
ay = g
