ball drop

A ball drop is a demonstration of gravity where a ball is released from a certain height and falls freely toward the ground. When released, gravity accelerates the ball downward at approximately 9.8 meters per second squared, causing it to increase in speed as it descends. This simple experiment illustrates how gravity pulls objects toward Earth and can be used to study concepts like acceleration, velocity, and the effects of air resistance. It’s commonly used to explain fundamental physics principles in a visual and understandable way.
