Gravity Formulas

Gravity:
-
Florida gravity (30° latitude) = 32.1302 fps²
-
The following examples assume gravity to be 32.0 fps²
-
Find Time when given Height
Time = SQRT (Height(feet) / (Gravity / 2))
2.5 = SQRT (100 / 16)
-
Find Height when given Time
Height(feet) = (Gravity / 2) * Time²
100 = 16 * 2.5²
-
Find Time when given Velocity
Time = Velocity (feet per second) / Gravity
2.5 = 80 / 32
-
Find Velocity when given Time
Velocity (feet per second) = Time * Gravity
80 = 2.5 * 32
-
Find Height when given Velocity
Height(feet) = Velocity² / (2 * Gravity)
100 = 80² / (2 * 32) = 6400 / 64
-
Find Velocity when given Height
Velocity (feet per second) = SQRT (2 * Gravity * Height(feet))
80 = SQRT (2 * 32 * 100) = SQRT (6400)
