Solution
The correct option is C acceleration Free fall is defined as the motion of an object when gravity is the only force acting upon it.
Equations of motions are valid only for 1 dimensional motion and uniformly accelerated motion. Both of these conditions are satisfied by the object falling freely.
Hence,
During freefall, we can use equations of motion as acceleration is constant.
