This GeoGebra example demonstrates free fall motion under constant gravitational acceleration, showing the complete parabolic relationship between displacement and time. Core mathematical concepts include quadratic function graphs, vertex and general form conversions, and physics concepts of velocity and acceleration. Construction highlights: InputBox controls for adjusting initial height (h) and acceleration (a), Polygon for drawing the parabolic trajectory, LaTeX displaying displacement formulas s=vt+½at² and t² relationships, Velocity text showing real-time speed values, and Slider animating time parameter (t). Suitable for high school mathematics courses on quadratic functions and physics kinematics visualization, helping students intuitively understand interdisciplinary connections between mathematics and physics.
