SummaryExampleHistoryOverviewAcceleration relative to the rotating EarthSee alsoExternal linksThe first equation shows that, after one second, an object will have fallen a distance of 1/2 × 9.8 × 1 = 4.9 m. After two seconds it will have fallen 1/2 × 9.8 × 2 = 19.6 m; and so on. The next-to-last equation becomes grossly inaccurate at great distances. If an object fell 10 000 m to Earth, then the results of both equations differ by only 0.08 %; however, if it fell from geosynchronous orbit, which is 42 164 km, then the difference changes to almost 64 %.
