True
False
Talking about (a) we refer to the moment to a vertical rectilinear movement of a body to which no initial velocity is given and which accelerates constantly as a consequence of its weight
Formula of the magnitude of the acceleration in terms of distance, d, and time t (a)
d=2rv2t2
d=2ra2t2
d=t2s2t3
