How this calculator works
Distance from rest is d = ½gt².
Formula
d=½gt²Distance fallen from rest under constant gravity.
Worked example
Verified example is a verified test case used by the calculation engine.
Assumptions and limitations
- Initial velocity is zero.
- Gravity is constant and non-negative.
- Air resistance is ignored.
Methodology & sources
This calculator uses deterministic, versioned calculation logic. The formula and verified examples above are part of the calculation definition used by CalcuMint. Technical calculation version: 1.

Frequently asked questions
Does this assume the object starts from rest?
Yes. Initial velocity is zero.
Is air resistance included?
No. This is an ideal constant-gravity model.
