motion under gravity formula

About motion under gravity formula

The formula for motion under gravity, neglecting air resistance, is:

y = (1/2)gt^2 + v?t + y?

where:

  • y is the vertical displacement or height of the object at time t
  • g is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.81 m/s² near the surface of the Earth)
  • t is the time elapsed since the object was released
  • v? is the initial vertical velocity of the object
  • y? is the initial vertical displacement of the object

This formula is derived from the equations of motion under constant acceleration, where the acceleration is equal to the acceleration due to gravity. It is valid for objects rel
