Free Fall Equation With Air Resistance. Since most of our free falling bodies occur near the surface of the earth, we can take d, to be the radius of the earth. Therefore we can put this in the form of an equation, f =.

The faster you fall, the higher the force is. Ferdinand reich's experiments were performed at a height of 158.5 m using spheres of 4,034 cm diameter and 270,45 g mass. Find the final velocity of a skydiver falling from a height of 2000 meter the mass of the skydiver is 72 kilogram and the air resistance is 0.24 kilogram per meter.
The force acting during free fall motion is equal to the force of gravitation between the falling body and the earth.
That is, the force due to air resistance is numerically equal to some constant \( k\) times \( v\). Substituting the known values in along with the value for g, reduces the equation to: F = k * v². H = 1/2 * 9.8* (8)2.
