Uniform gravitational acceleration

assuming that the gravitational constant remains unchanged from the beginning to the end of a trajectory

deterministic formula, dimensional formula, formula, static formula

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.

Formula(s) and Quantities

$h \approx r$
$h$ represents free fall height
$r$ represents earth radius
