"Free fall" means that the only force on the object is the force of gravity.

In that situation, the object is accelerating in response to the force, so

it's going faster. Its speed is growing at a rate called the 'acceleration

of gravity' at the place where it's located.

When does the mass and or size of an object affect the time of its free fall?

if an object is lightr it will fall slower because gravity wont take it down as fast if it is heavier it will make the gravity pull it down faster


What An object is free fall undergoes an increase in?

The speed of an object in free fall increases due to the acceleration of gravity, which causes the object to fall faster and faster until it reaches terminal velocity, at which point the force of air resistance balances the force of gravity.


If an object is in free fall after each second how does the object fall?

In free fall, the object accelerates downward at a rate of 9.8 m/s^2 due to gravity. After each second, the object's velocity increases by 9.8 m/s. This means that the object falls faster and faster with each passing second.


What speed does an object on earth free fall?

If their is no air resistance, it will go faster and faster, at a rate of 9.8 (meters / second) / second.


What happens to an object that has constant free fall acceleration?

I do believe it will constantly get faster up into the point of disenigrating


The only force acting on a falling object is gravity the object is said to be?

The object is said to be in free fall.


When an object in free fall?

An object is in free fall when only gravity and air resistance (drag) are acting on it. In space, free fall excludes drag.


How does a parachute effect free fall?

If the parachute is too small, then the load it is carrying will fall faster, the same thing is with big parachutes. If it is medium sized it will fall at a desirable rate than a larger or smaller parachute.


What is an object in free fall?

An object in free fall is one that has only the force of gravity acting upon it.


What is the definition for terminal velocity?

As an object falls faster and faster it is slowed by friction with the air as it tries to push through. When this wind from falling is so strong that it balances gravity, so the object does not fall any faster, that it is the terminal velocity for that object.


When is an object to in free fall?

A falling object.


What is the only force that can act on an object in free fall?

The only force that can act on an object in free fall is gravity.
