assuming that the gravitational constant remains unchanged from the beginning to the end of a trajectory, e.g. a free fall

Description

This is a very good approximation for an apple falling from a tree, but not for celestial mechanics where the inverse-square law of the gravitational field must be taken into account.

Defining Formula: $h\approx r$

$h$ represents free fall height

$r$ represents earth radius
