The video begins with a definition of free fall. He explains that the only force on an object in free fall is gravity (10N), so the object's acceleration is 10 m/s/s. He then tells us the initial speed of the object is 0 m/s. He uses a speedometer and and odometer to tell us the velocity and distance of the object at each time interval. Later, he explains his data using equations, including the equations for acceleration (a = Δv/ Δt), distance (d = 1/2gt2, and velocity (v = gt).
