Free Fall Distance Calculator

Find how far an object falls in a given time.

Fall time

Initial speed

Gravity (m/s²)

Distance fallen 44.145

Formula: d = v₀·t + ½·g·t²

Step-by-step with your numbers:

1. Values used:

2. Fall time = 3

3. Initial speed = 0

4. Gravity = 9.81 m/s²

6. Distance fallen = 44.145

Did we solve your problem today?

Find the distance an object drops under gravity alone.

The math behind it

d = v₀·t + ½·g·t². From rest, distance grows with the square of time.

After 3 s from rest → 44.1 m.

Why does it grow so fast?

Distance depends on t², so doubling the time quadruples the fall.
