Well gravity would pull the body to the ground. The greater the surface area of the body the more air resistance there would be.

What forces act on a falling object?
The forces acting on a falling body are gravity and air resistance.
Does changing the mass of a free falling body affect the value of the acceleration of gravity?
no
Does a rock falling from a cliff have a constant acceleration?
Yes. Every body that is falling, (if there is no other force then the gravity force) will fall in constant acceleration. Mass does not affect the acceleration of the body. According to Newton's second law: F=m*a m*g=m*a g=a F= Force m= mass a= acceleration g= gravity acceleration m*g= the force of gravity
Is the vertical motion of a falling object dependent on the mass of the object?
Gravity's action on a falling body is dependent on the masses of both bodies and the difference between their centers. Typically the falling body's mass is negligible, being on orders of magnitude smaller than the larger body, and will not affect the acceleration to any measurable degree. So, typically the answer would be: No.
Which one of the following does not affect the electrical resistance of a body?
the second one has no affect.

What force acts on a object?

no
How do air resistance and gravity affect a falling object?
Objects when falling that cannot ignore air resistance are things like feathers, leaves, seeds, or small pieces of paper just to name a few. Objects when falling that can ignore air resistance are things such as objects that are heavy and compact like rocks or metal balls.
What is absolute velocity is it the other name for the velocity of a free falling body when the net force of air resistance and gravity is zero?
yes. also called terminal velocity.
What is falling body?
is an object that moves under gravity only.
What force is there on free falling body neglecting air friction?
The force of gravity is the primary acting force. Air resistance acts in the opposite direction.
A free body diagram of a ball falling in the presence of air resistance would show A only a downward arrow to represent air resistance B a downward arrow to represent gravity C neither?
Neither. It would need a downward pointing arrow for the force of the acceleration due to gravity and a second arrow for the air resistance pointing up.
How does wetness affect the resistance of your body?
Higher wetness lower resistance.
Does a rock falling from a cliff have a constant acceleration?
Yes. Every body that is falling, (if there is no other force then the gravity force) will fall in constant acceleration. Mass does not affect the acceleration of the body. According to Newton's second law: F=m*a m*g=m*a g=a F= Force m= mass a= acceleration g= gravity acceleration m*g= the force of gravity
What is free falling body?
is an object that moves under gravity only.
What is the motion of body when only the force of gravity is acting on it?
Free falling.
