The equation of motion is not modified. Net force = mass x acceleration, whether freely falling or not.

What is the velocity of freely falling objects 5 seconds after being dropped?
5*9.8 = 49 metres per second.
How is gravity different for objects that freely fall down and those thrown upwards?
The gravity acting on a rising object and that on a falling object are the same when these objects are at the same height. What is different is that a rising object is decelerating by the force of gravity and the falling object is accelerating.
What is the effect of the mass of freely falling body on gravitational acceleration?
No effect whatsoever. Any two freely falling bodies fall with the same acceleration when dropped in the same place on the same planet. That includes any two objects falling on Earth. Someone is sure to jump in here and point out that objects with different mass don't fall with equal accelerations on Earth, and that's because of air resistance. They may even go on to provide answers to other questions that were not asked, such as a treatise on terminal velocity. All of that is true, even if confusing. This question stipulated that the bodies in question are "freely fallling". Bodies that are falling through air are not freely falling.
The sumof the kinetic and potential energies of a freely falling body is?
If the body is freely falling, this sum will remain constant.
Does an object that is freely falling have mass?
Yes, mass is an intrinsic property of matter. However a freely falling object will experience no weight.
What are some freely falling objects?
The moon, Earth's artificial satelites, etc.
What is the velocity of freely falling objects 5 seconds after being dropped?
5*9.8 = 49 metres per second.
What is the meaning of Free Falling?
Let's imagine there is no air resistance and that gravity is the only thing affecting a falling object. Such an object would then be in free fall. Freely falling objects are affected only by gravity

What changes in a freely falling body?
Velocity
Is there any force acting on an object which is falling freely?
Yes. The definition of "free fall" implies that gravity from Earth - or perhaps from different objects - is acting on the body.
What is freely body?
A freely body is the body which is freely falling under the force of gravity i.e. an acceleration of 9.8 m/s2
Where does the law of gravity operate?
Freely falling bodies
What is a freely falling projectile?
It is a projectile falling with an acceleration equal to that of free fall. (an object falling in a vacuum at the earth's surface)
