  • The point P symbolizes the free falling body.
  • The object has zero speed in its first position.
  • At equal time intervals, the velocity of object rate increases uniformly.
  • when you calculate the green painted area in the graph you will find how many meters the object has fallen.
  • The object has the greatest speed when hit.
  • The Potential energy of object with respect to the ground decreases.
  • As the speed of the approaching object increases, its kinetic energy increases.
