What is it called when the motion of a body when only gravity is acting on the body?

You're probably thinking of the term 'free-fall' or 'freely falling', or in relativity you might say it follows a 'geodesic'.

What is accileration due to gravity on earth?
Acceleration due to gravityThe acceleration produced in the motion of a body under gravity is called Acceleration.
What is the formula for one dimensional motion?
If only one quadrant of a body out od three quadrant of the position change than motion of the body is called one Dimentional motion. Ex-MOtion of a body in a straight line ,path,vertical motion under gravity etc...
What is force acting on a body with uniform motion?
A body in uniform motion has no net force acting on it. That means that either there are no forces at all, or else that all the forces acting on it add up to zero.
What forces are acting on your body as you sit quietly in a classroom?
Gravity.
What motion of a falling object when only gravity is acting?
The only way to describe an object where it is only affected by gravity is the say it is in Free Fall. This is really not possible but is often misinterpreted when skydiving but the wind is pushing up on your body. The only way this happens is if there is no friction. The ISS (International Space Station) is said to be in free fall but its motion is a combination of inertia and gravity.
What is the motion of body when only the force of gravity is acting on it?
Free falling.
The motion of a body when only force of gravity is acting on the body?
zero velocity =)
How does motion in a vertical circle differ from that in a horizontal circle?
During motion in a vertical circle, the force of gravity (weight of the object) is in the same direction as the motion for half the time and in the opposite direction for the rest.For a body moving in a horizontal circle, gravity is acting orthogonally to the motion at all times.During motion in a vertical circle, the force of gravity (weight of the object) is in the same direction as the motion for half the time and in the opposite direction for the rest.For a body moving in a horizontal circle, gravity is acting orthogonally to the motion at all times.During motion in a vertical circle, the force of gravity (weight of the object) is in the same direction as the motion for half the time and in the opposite direction for the rest.For a body moving in a horizontal circle, gravity is acting orthogonally to the motion at all times.During motion in a vertical circle, the force of gravity (weight of the object) is in the same direction as the motion for half the time and in the opposite direction for the rest.For a body moving in a horizontal circle, gravity is acting orthogonally to the motion at all times.
A force other than gravity that causes a body in motion to stop is called?
Gravity does not cause a body in motion to stop.This can be accomplished either by friction or by a brick wall.

Why do we experience weightlessness in space?
Because there are no contact forces acting on us. Gravity is the only acting on us. A body experiences weightlessness when gravity is the only force acting on it.
Is there force in space?
No; gravity will continue acting on your body. If there was no force acting on your body while in space (let's say an orbiting satellite), the satellite would fly out of Earth's orbit and just wander off forever, but that doesn't happen - so gravity has to be acting on the satellite and your body as well!
What forces are acting on your body as you sit quietly in a classroom?
Gravity.
What is the motion of a body when only the force of garvity is acting on the body?
Free Fall
Can a body in equilibrium if it is in motion?
It can be in equilibrium if in constant motion (constant velocity) as no forces are acting on it (no acceleration)
