free fall occurs when only gravity is acting on a object, and nothing else. if air is present, it provides air resistance, which immediately eliminates free fell
An object is in free fall only if gravity is pulling it down and no other forces are acting on it. Because air resistance is a force, free fall can occur only where there is no air.
air resistance is the most likely to occur
-- "free fall" -- absence of terminal velocity
Free fall is the situation when the object's motion is influenced only by gravity.In that situation, the object continuously accelerates.Before we go getting into air resistance, terminal velocity, and all that stuff,it must be noted that falling through air is NOT free fall.
That's more or less the definition of a free fall - that no other forces are at work, except for gravity. However, you can get a good approximation even with air, if the object is massive enough and doesn't fall for too long.That's more or less the definition of a free fall - that no other forces are at work, except for gravity.

free fall occur if there is no air because there is nothing to resist the fall of the object
An object is in free fall only if gravity is pulling it down and no other forces are acting on it. Because air resistance is a force, free fall can occur only where there is no air.

Yes, unless speaking about parachutists who refer to free fall as falling through the air without opening their parachutes.
air resistance is the most likely to occur
An object is in free fall when only gravity and air resistance (drag) are acting on it. In space, free fall excludes drag.
"Free fall" means that an object falls only under the influence of gravity; specifically, air resistance can be ignored. An open parachute does not normally fall in this category."Free fall" means that an object falls only under the influence of gravity; specifically, air resistance can be ignored.

Yes it is in free fall because gravity is the only force acting on it. (no air resistance)
