Free Fall Calculator

Find fall distance and speed after a time in free fall.

Distance fallen 44.145

Final velocity 29.43

Formula: d = ½ g t² ; v = g t

Step-by-step with your numbers:

1. Values used:

2. Time falling = 3

3. Gravity = 9.81 m/s²

5. Distance fallen = 44.145

6. Final velocity = Time falling x Gravity = 3 x 9.81 = 29.43

Did we solve your problem today?

Distance and speed of an object dropped from rest (ignoring air resistance).

The math behind it

distance = ½ × g × t²; velocity = g × t.

After 3 s → 44.1 m fallen, 29.4 m/s.

Air resistance?

This ignores it; real objects reach a terminal velocity.
