Lecture

Free Fall and Ballistic Motion

Description

This lecture covers the concepts of free fall and ballistic motion, including the acceleration of gravity, Newton's second law, equations of motion, maximum height, and projectile motion. The instructor explains the time for an object to touch the ground, the maximum height reached by a vertically launched ball, and the deviation of a falling object at the equator. Practical applications such as creating microgravity and testing gravitational influence are also discussed.
