Here are the variables for the equation
V = velocity of the free fall.
V(0) = the initial velocity.
g = acceleration due to gravity.
t = time interval.
Output﻿﻿V
:422.27​

﻿
V=V0+g⋅tV = V_{0}+ g \cdot tV=V0​+g⋅t
ExplanationAccording to Newtonian physics, freefall can be classified as the motion of an object when no factor except gravity is exerting a force on it. The velocity of a given object in freefall can be calculated by obtaining the initial velocity, time taken to fall and the acceleration due to gravity. 
﻿
V=V0+g⋅tV = V_{0}+ g \cdot tV=V0​+g⋅t
See how this equation relates to projectile motion and the freefall height!
