Info

Use this vertical throw and free fall calculator to quickly solve one-dimensional vertical motion problems. Supported scenarios: - Free fall (v₀ = 0): object falls under gravity alone - Downward throw (v₀ < 0): initial velocity directed downward - Upward throw (v₀ > 0): object rises, decelerates, then falls Key formulas: y(t) = h₀ + v₀·t − ½·g·t² v(t) = v₀ − g·t h_max = h₀ + v₀²/(2g) (when v₀ > 0) The calculator finds impact time (from y = 0 condition), impact speed, maximum height and a step-by-step time table. Results assume no air resistance and constant gravitational acceleration.

About Vertical Motion
Calculations assume no air resistance, one-dimensional motion and constant gravitational acceleration. Real-world results will differ due to air drag and other factors.
