A Java-based simulation where students can observe what happens to a free-falling object, with and without air resistance. Controls allow the user to adjust settings and the results are graphed as the simulation progresses.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Use this opportunity to understand accelerated motion in two dimensions, free fall.

In this physics tutorial, the motion of a free-falling motion will be represented using position versus time and velocity versus time graphs.

Students practice applying free fall concepts to problem-solving in this interactive physics tutorial.

In this physics interactive lecture demonstration, students will predict what will happen if a plastic bottle, filled with water and having a hole near the bottom, is dropped. Will the bottle fall at the same rate as the water inside the...

A demonstration involving an elephant and a feather and explanation of why all objects maintain the same acceleration in the state of free fall without any air resistance.

Use this printable physics worksheet which allows learners to practice problems describing motion in a free fall.

This activity assesses students' knowledge and understanding of free fall principles.
