Motion under gravity

Here are some helpful tips for motion under gravity:

Use your Kinematic equations!

If an object is dropped, then initial velocity = 0.

Acceleration due to gravity is 9.81. The sign (+ or -) depends on which direction you have labeled positive.

Horizontal component of your initial velocity when (e.g. for a ball being kicked) stays the same and does not slow down.
