Calculadora de Queda Livre

The Free Fall Calculator determines the fall height and final velocity of an object in free fall, ignoring air resistance. Free fall is a uniformly accelerated motion where only gravity acts. On Earth, standard gravitational acceleration is 9.8 m/s², but you can adjust this value. The calculator uses the formulas h = ½ g t² for height and v = g t for velocity, where t is the fall time.

How to use: enter the fall time in seconds and the acceleration of gravity (default 9.8 m/s²). The calculator provides the distance fallen and the final velocity. For example, an object falling for 3 seconds reaches 44.1 meters and a velocity of 29.4 m/s. The calculation assumes the object starts from rest and no air resistance.

When to use: in basic physics problems, simulations of falling bodies, kinematics studies, or to estimate the height of a cliff or fall time in ideal conditions. Useful for students, teachers, and physics enthusiasts to quickly verify results. Caution: results are accurate only in vacuum or when air resistance is negligible.

Cautions: the calculator does not account for drag, buoyancy, or gravity variation with altitude. For real falls with significant air resistance, results may differ. Ensure consistent units (meters and seconds). Verify time is positive and gravity is positive.
