Question

What do you understand by the term free fall of an object?

Answer 1

1. Free Fall: The body falls from a height toward the earth under the gravitational force of the earth (without any other force acting on it ) is called free fall.
2. Acceleration is independent of the mass of the body during free fall.
3. All free-falling objects (on Earth) accelerate downwards at a rate of 9.8 $\raisebox{1ex}{$\mathrm{m}$}\!\left/ \!\raisebox{-1ex}{${\mathrm{s}}^2$}\right.$
