Answer 2

The equations of motion for a body falling freely under gravity

Explanation:

Free fall is any motion of a body where gravity is the only force acting upon it.

objects that are said to be undergoing free fall, are not encountering  a significant force of air resistance.

Equations of motion for a body falling freely under gravity are

height  = h(m)

initial velocity = u(m/s)

final velocity  = v(m/s)

acceleration due to gravity = g(m/$s^{2}$ )

time taken = t (s)

(i)   $h=ut+\frac{1}{2} gt^{2}$

(ii)   $v^{2} -u^{2} = 2gh$

(iii)  v=u+gt
