Free Fall Motion Distance Formula Explained

Falling distance in free fall motion = 1/2 g t^2 Group of answer choices

True

False

True.

The formula for the distance fallen in free fall motion (ignoring air resistance) is indeed given by the equation:

[ d = \frac{1}{2} g t^2 ]

where:

• ( d ) is the distance fallen,
• ( g ) is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately ( 9.81 , \text{m/s}^2 ) on the surface of the Earth),
• ( t ) is the time in seconds.

So the statement is true.
