free fall
The fastest free-falling object known to man is typically a solid object like a meteorite or a satellite re-entering Earth's atmosphere. Raindrops fall much slower due to their lower mass and surface area compared to solid objects.
c. Free fall
Such an object is said to be in free fall.
It reduces the acceleration of the falling object due to friction.
A falling object.
Constant acceleration and no air resistance are the two characteristics of a free-falling object.
The acceleration of a falling object is called gravity. A free-falling object has an acceleration of 9.8 m/s/s when going downward on Earth.
The object is said to be in free fall.
In free fall, when the air resistance is equal to the weight of the falling object, we say that the object has reached ________ velocity.
Let's imagine there is no air resistance and that gravity is the only thing affecting a falling object. Such an object would then be in free fall. Freely falling objects are affected only by gravity

Gravity.
An object falling freely under gravity is known as a free-falling object, where gravity is the only force acting on it. In the absence of other forces like air resistance, the object accelerates at a constant rate of 9.8 m/s^2 (approximately) towards the Earth's surface.
