SUMMARY

When an object is dropped, its acceleration towards the ground remains constant at g (approximately 9.81 m/s²) regardless of its initial speed v, provided that air resistance is negligible. Once the object is released, it enters free fall, where the only force acting on it is gravity. This principle holds true under terrestrial conditions without additional forces complicating the scenario.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Newton's laws of motion
  • Basic knowledge of gravitational acceleration
  • Familiarity with the concept of free fall
  • Awareness of the effects of air resistance
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the implications of air resistance on falling objects
  • Explore the mathematical derivation of gravitational acceleration
  • Learn about the differences between free fall and projectile motion
  • Investigate real-world applications of gravitational acceleration in physics
USEFUL FOR

Students of physics, educators teaching mechanics, and anyone interested in understanding the principles of motion and gravity.

If you drop an object from rest, its acceleration towards the ground is g ,ok i know that but if you drop the object at some speed v does acceleration is still g?

i suppose is still g

Yes, as long as air resistance is negligible.

Remember that "acceleration" is the time rate of change of velocity. The initial velocity doesn't change anything during free fall.

As soon as the object departs from the source that gave it that initial v, then it is free falling, and the ONLY force acting on it is gravitational force. So if we assume terrestrial condition and no other complications, then its acceleration will be still be "g".
