π Adventure 4 β Free Fall
Use the charts to connect height, velocity, and acceleration β and discover why calculus is really βslope + areaβ.
π― What you will learn
Velocity v(t) is the slope of the distance graph x(t).
Acceleration due to gravity g(t) is the slope of Velocity graph v(t).
Acceleration of gravity g(t) is constant and approximately equal to 10 meters per second squared.
Constant acceleration due to gravity makes v(t) linear and x(t) quadratic.
