Calculate Free Fall Distance (FFD)

Formula

The formula to calculate Free Fall Distance (FFD) is:

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

What is Free Fall Distance?

Free fall distance refers to the distance an object falls under the influence of gravity alone, without any air resistance. This calculation is important in physics to understand the motion of objects in free fall and to predict their behavior under the influence of gravity.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following value:

Using the formula to calculate Free Fall Distance:

\[ \text{FFD} = \frac{1}{2} \times 9.81 \times 3^2 = \frac{1}{2} \times 9.81 \times 9 = 44.145 \text{ meters} \]

The Free Fall Distance (FFD) is 44.145 meters.
