Formula and explanation
Formula: h = v₀ t + (1)/(2) g t² Conditions: Uniformly accelerated linear motion in the vertical direction with initial velocity v₀ (falling if v₀ is in the same direction as g, upward throw if opposite). Explanation: This is the application of the displacement formula for uniformly accelerated linear motion in the vertical direction, with g taken as positive.
