About this calculator
This calculator finds the fall time and impact velocity of an object dropped from a given height under gravity alone (no air resistance), using the kinematic equations h = ½gt² and v = gt, where g is gravitational acceleration (9.81 m/s² on Earth).
Physics students and teachers use it to check homework and demonstrate that, in a vacuum, all objects fall at the same rate regardless of mass — a principle famously tested by Galileo. Enter the drop height to get the time to impact and the speed at landing; you can also switch g to model free fall on the Moon or another planet.
