  1. Determination of Drop Timeand Validation of Drop Tower Height

  2. Free Fall – No Air Resistance (Vacuum Conditions) Applies to All Objects: • Vi=0 • g=32.2ft/s2

  3. Free Fall –Air Resistance (Atmospheric Conditions) • Fall Time Differs Per Object; Depends on Drag Coefficient, Projected Area and Mass of Object Dropped. • Equations Dependent on Terminal Velocity (Vterm or V∞); The Highest Velocity the Object Reaches, at the Point Downward Acceleration Becomes Zero http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_fall

  4. Free Fall –Air Resistance (Atmospheric Conditions) • ρ is the Density of Air • is the Drag Coefficient • A is the Projected Area of the Falling Object http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_fall

  5. Free Fall –Air Resistance (Near Atmospheric Conditions)
