meters, or 16.08feet. Hence the acceleration, expressedin centimeters, is 980; in feet, 32.16.This acceleration of free fall, called theacceleration of gravity^ is usually denotedby the letter g. For freely falling bodies,then, the three formulas of the precedingparagraph become (5)(6) (16.0S)16.08… … Path of a projectile Since (7) is the same as (6), we learn that in a vacuum the speed withwhich a body must be projected upward to Iise to a given height is thesame as the speed which it acquires in falling from thesame height. 96. Path of a projectile. Imagine a i^rojectileto be shot along the…
