Solution

Newton's Law of Motion.

Newton's second law of motion can be represented as

F=m×aa=Fm

Where F is the force

m is the mass of the object

a is the acceleration

Explanation

Acceleration does not increase in a free fall. The acceleration on the surface of the earth is approximately equal to 9.8ms2. The velocity increases constantly but not the acceleration.
