Question

(a) What do you mean by the term 'free fall'?
(b) During a free fall, will heavier objects accelerate more than lighter ones?

Answer 1

A falling body, on which only the earth’s gravity acts, is known as a freely falling body and such a fall is known as free fall.
a) No, because acceleration due to gravity (g) does not depend on the body’s mass. Thus, bodies of different mass accelerate towards the earth with same acceleration.
