Free Fall Velocity Calculator

Find the speed of a freely falling object after a given time.

Fall time

Initial speed

Gravity (m/s²)

Velocity 29.43

Formula: v = v₀ + g·t

Step-by-step with your numbers:

1. Values used:

2. Fall time = 3

3. Initial speed = 0

4. Gravity = 9.81 m/s²

6. Velocity = 29.43

Did we solve your problem today?

In free fall, gravity steadily increases an object's downward speed.

The math behind it

v = v₀ + g·t. Dropped from rest, an object gains about 9.81 m/s every second.

After 3 s from rest → 29.43 m/s.

Does mass matter?

No — ignoring air resistance, all objects fall at the same rate.
