free fall trajectory in non constant gravitational field

lundi 29 juillet 2013

Rusty on the math...

I am working on a problem and need the derivation of a free fall trajectory for an object at a distance above earth where the change in acceleration is not negligible. How do I integrate the distance/ acceleration formula taking into account the change in g to get the total distance traveled.

The method and final formula...?

I'm looking for total distance after time t, trying to see how it scales as what power of t.

thanks.
