Answer 1

Free fall

1. A free-fall state is defined as an item that is only affected by the force of gravity.
2. Free-falling objects do not experience air resistance.
3. During free fall, both heavier and lighter objects accelerate at the same rate.
4. In Newtonian physics, free fall is defined as the motion of an object where gravity is the only force acting on it.
5. A free-falling item is one that moves under the complete control of gravity.
6. A skydiver is never in full free-fall under this concept, unless before their parachute is deployed.
7. The free fall of a body from a height under gravitational gravity toward the ground is known as free fall.
8. A body like this is referred to as a free-falling body. When an object falls into the earth deliberately, it accelerates.
