The common belief we hold as humans is that we are free to make any choices we wish at any given moment under the guise of free will. I for one will be attempting to disprove this delusion of free will and in turn replace it with a more rational approach to viewing our actions in the form of determinism. Determinism is the school of thought that states we only have the illusion of free will and that our choices are not actually our own. As humans‚ we are born and from that moment are choices are

Since we are neglecting air friction and assuming that the free fall acceleration is constant‚ the motion of a freely falling object is equivalent to motion in one dimension under constant acceleration. Therefore the constant acceleration equations can be applied. Objects falling downward only under the influence of gravity can be graphically analyzed with a displacement versus time graph shown by a parabolic curve described in graph 1. This
