The equations of kinematics for uniform accelerationalso apply to the special case of an object that isaccelerating near the earth's surface. The gravitationalpull of the earth on any object will cause it toaccelerate towards the centre of the earth at a rate of9.80 m/s², assuming air resistance is negligible. Thus,for any equations involving a body in free fall(something that is dropped or thrown) we can use thesame problem-solving skills we already have. Thereare a few unique features to solving freefall problems.acceleration is always constant at g = -9.80m/s? (the negative is very important)at the top of its flight, an object has v =(Since it must stop before starting to comedown again)keeping your sign conventions for direction isvery important...all velocity directed downmust be negative, and all velocity directed upmust be positive.b)= 0.A tourist drops a rock from rest from a guardrail overlooking a valley.
