Free fall

Gravity is uniform acceleration
Galileo first proposed the idea that all objects fall with uniform acceleration.
He proved it by rolling balls down slopes
It is an idea with far reaching implicationsGravity accelerates all
objects on Earth at a rate of 9.8 ms-2

Air resistance
Why doesn’t it look like all objects fall at the same rate.
Gravity is not the only force acting.
Air resistance acts against motion.
The air resistance depends upon size, shape but mostly speed.

If you ignore air resistance falling objects gain speed at the same rate.They accelerate at Earth at a rate of 9.8 ms-2.
Q1. How far will a coin fall in 5 seconds?
0 ms-1
9.8 ms-1
19.6 ms-1
