How is gravity related to free fall?
Gravity and free fall are similar because they are both a force that pulls objects downward. <><><><><> Gravity is the force that pulls you down. Free fall is when you have no opposing force keeping you up.
In free fall all objects fall with the same acceleration?
In free fall in a vacuum, all objects fall at the same rate of acceleration. In air, however, friction comes into play, so that various objects can fall at different rates.
The acceleration due 2 gravity of all objects in free fall is the same?
if you are asking that, in general, all objects accelerate at an equal speed due to gravity in free fall, yes.they are slowed by air resistance.
Do objects with larger mass fall faster outside of a vacuum?
No. Everything, no matter what the mass, free falls at about 10m/s/s.
Why do different objects in free fall not all fall at the same rate when you test it?
Without air resistance or other forces (other than gravity, that is), falling objects will accelerate at the same rate, and they will take the same time to fall a certain distance. If this is not the case, then the most likely cause is there IS air resistance.
When is an objects to be in free fall?
In free fall, the force of gravity alone causes an object to accelerate in the downward direction.

What is the direction that gravity causes objects to accelerate?
Free fall is caused when gravity pulls it toward earth

What happens if a large object and small object fall into free fall and what is their acceleration?
In a vacuum, i.e. space, both objects would accelerate at the same rate. If the object they were attracted to was the same size as our planet the acceleration would be 9.81 m/s squared. In an atmosphere the acceleration would be inconsistent and based on air resistance.

In freefall do heavier objects fall with a greater acceleration than lighter objects?
no, they fall the same acceleration ( one gravity ) neglecting air resistance; however they may reach different velocities with air resistance.
Do heavier objects fall with a greater acceleration than lighter objects in free fall?
false
When is an object said to be in free fall?
In free fall, the force of gravity alone causes an object to accelerate in the downward direction.
Will an object continue to accelerate in free fall because the only force acting on it is gravity?
In simple theory, in a perfect vacuum, yes. In practice, no. Two reasons, First, there is no such thing as a perfect vacuum. Second, there can be only so much gravitational attraction between two bodies. This is determined, by and large, by size and mass (mostly mass...okay, all mass). Once a sort of terminal velocity is reached, at which point the full gravitational attraction is reached, the two objects will not accelerate toward each other with any greater velocity.
