PAGE 1 : THE LAWS OF FALLING BODIES
Formulated by Galileo Galilei for bodies falling freely under gravity from rest
without any air resistance:
1. First Law: All bodies falling freely from rest from the same height traverse equal
distances in equal intervals of time.
2. Second Law: The velocity (v) acquired by a body falling freely from rest in a given
time (t) is directly proportional to that time.
v∝t
3. Third Law: The distance (h) traversed by a body falling freely from rest in a given
time (t) is directly proportional to the square of that time.
h ∝ t²

FALLING BODIES
• Problem:
• If an object falls freely from rest from a certain height, what is the ratio of the
distances traversed by the body only during its 1st, 2nd, and 3rd seconds?
• Motion Diagram Profile:
• t = 0 s (Rest, h = 0)
• │
• t = 1 s ● ◄─── Total h(1) = 1m └───► Traversed in 1st second ONLY = 1m

• │
• t = 2 s ● ◄─── Total h(2) = 4m └───► Traversed in 2nd second ONLY = 3m

• t = 3 s ● ◄─── Total h(3) = 9m └───► Traversed in 3rd second ONLY = 5m
