It depends if it is affected by air resistance or not. If not then all objects close to the surface of the Earth have an acceleration of 9.81ms^-2 in free fall. If it is affected by air resistance you need all sorts of more information to answer that question, like the drag coefficient of the air.

What is constant for freely falling body?

Acceleration. A free-falling object falls at constant force, and thereby at constant acceleration.


What is the direction of the acceleration of a freely falling body?

If a ball that is freely falling has attained a velocity of 19.6 meters per second after 2 seconds. What is its velocity five seconds later?

A freely falling Ball has the acceleration of 9.8 m/s/s so after 5 seconds its velocity will be: t=5s a=9.8m/s/s v=5s * 9.8m/s/s =49 m/s


How equation of motion are modified for freely falling objects?

The equation of motion is not modified. Net force = mass x acceleration, whether freely falling or not.


What is a freely falling projectile?

It is a projectile falling with an acceleration equal to that of free fall. (an object falling in a vacuum at the earth's surface)


What is freely body?

A freely body is the body which is freely falling under the force of gravity i.e. an acceleration of 9.8 m/s2


What is the definition of free fall?

when the acceleration of the freely falling object is equal to the acceleration due to gravity then there occurs free fall.

What is the effect of the mass of freely falling body on gravitational acceleration?

No effect whatsoever. Any two freely falling bodies fall with the same acceleration when dropped in the same place on the same planet. That includes any two objects falling on Earth. Someone is sure to jump in here and point out that objects with different mass don't fall with equal accelerations on Earth, and that's because of air resistance. They may even go on to provide answers to other questions that were not asked, such as a treatise on terminal velocity. All of that is true, even if confusing. This question stipulated that the bodies in question are "freely fallling". Bodies that are falling through air are not freely falling.
