Compute fall time t = √(2h/g) from drop height and gravitational acceleration, with support for different gravity environments.
由高度求无初速自由下落时间。
Constants used on this page and their authoritative sources, for verification and citation
| Constant | Value | Unit | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard acceleration of gravity g_n | 9.80665 | m·s⁻² | ISO 80000-3 / BIPM conventional value (exact) |
Note: air resistance is neglected (vacuum free fall); actual gravity varies with latitude and altitude (≈9.780 at the equator, ≈9.832 at the poles).
