- Yes but, do you know how fast I fall to the ground? No? Let me explain!
- Do you know what happens when I stop fluttering my wings?
- You....fall?
- When I fall, gravity pulls me down.  I am free falling!
- Well there's a lot of mechanics behind how fast I fall, But first you need to know about free falling, velocity and acceleration, let me elaborate!
- What happens when you free fall?? Do you fall faster as you go down? How does that even work?!
- Free falling is when I fall under the sole influence of gravity. Any object that is being acted upon only by the force of gravity is said to be in a state of free fall.
- There are two important motion characteristics that are true of free-falling objects:
- what are those?
- All free-falling objects (on Earth) accelerate downwards at a rate of 9.8 m/s²
- Well, first is that Free-falling objects do not encounter air resistance, second is a bit harder to understand but I will explain
- 9.8 m/s²?  does it change as you keep falling?
- What is it?
- No, they are all different. Uniform acceleration is when the rate of change in acceleration is constant. Uniform motion is when an object has zero acceleration, and uniformly accelerated motion is when acceleration is constant and does not change at all. In UAM, the velocity changes but at a constant rate.
- Well, okay here... There are these things called uniform acceleration, uniform motion, and uniform accelerated motion
- What do those terms mean? do they mean the same?
- Yes, they both do have constant acceleration, however, in Uniform Acceleration, there is constant change (Either an increase or decrease) in acceleration, it is a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes by an equal amount in every equal time period.
- Wait, what is the difference between Uniform acceleration and Uniformly accelerated motion? They both have constant acceleration, do they not?
