Understanding Freely Falling Bodies
In the absence of air resistance, all bodies at the same location above the earth fall vertically with the same acceleration, whether thrown up or down. This idealized motion, known as free-fall, occurs when air resistance is neglected and the acceleration is nearly constant. The acceleration due to gravity, directed downward toward the center of the earth, remains essentially constant throughout the fall.

2.7 Freely Falling Bodies In the absence of air resistance, all bodies at the same location above the earth fall vertically with the same acceleration, whether they are thrown up or down.
2.7 Freely Falling Bodies In the absence of air resistance, all bodies at the same location above the earth fall vertically with the same acceleration, whether they are thrown up or down. If the distance of the fall is small compared to the radius of the earth (equatorial = 6380 km), the acceleration remains essentially constant throughout the fall.

A Falling Stone A stone is dropped from rest from the top of a tall building, as the figure indicates. After 3.00 s of free-fall, a. what is the velocity v of the stone? b. what is the displacement y of the stone?
Coin Toss A football game customarily begins with a coin toss to determine who kicks off. The referee tosses the coin up with an initial speed of 6.00 m/s. In the absence of air resistance, how high does the coin go above its point of release?
What is the velocity and acceleration at the maximum height?
What is the velocity and acceleration at the maximum height? 20. What is the acceleration of a rock thrown straight upward on the way up? At the top of its flight? On the way down?
Chapter 2, Problem 57 57. A coin is dropped from a hot-air balloon that is 300 m above the ground and rising at 10.0 m/s upward. For the coin, find (a) the maximum height reached, (b) its position and velocity 4.00 s after being released, and (c) the time before it hits the ground.
