"Force" is a technical term in physics and is almost certainly not what you want to know if you're talking about a falling object. You probably want the energy instead, which is force x distance. You can measure the force directly using a scale (weight is force, but be careful if you have a metric scale; they almost always report mass, not force. To get force in newtons, multiply the mass in kilograms by 9.8 meters per second per second). Energy has units like newton-meters (joules) or foot-pounds.

How does force and gravity effect a falling object?
Gravity is a force that accelerates the falling object towards the ground.
What is the only force acting on a freely falling object?
Gravity is forcing an object to fall to the ground. Another force is friction from air pressure on the falling object.
When an object is falling toward earth what force is pushing up on the object?
Because of force
When an object is falling and the force of gravity is the only force?
Not a question.
What force oppses the motion of an object falling through the air?
Nothing is opposing an object falling to earth. Gravity is causing an object to fall back to earth which is opposing the object from leaving earht. If anything the force that opposes gravity is the force at which an object is projected.
How does force and gravity effect a falling object?
Gravity is a force that accelerates the falling object towards the ground.
When equals the force of gravity on a falling object the object reaches terminal velocity.?
When THE FRICTION BETWEEN THE OBJECT AND THE ATMOSPHEREequals the force of gravity on a falling object the object reaches terminal velocity.

What does force do to a falling object?
That all depends on the strength and direction of the force. If the object is already "falling", then there must already be the force of gravity acting on it. The effect of any other force will depend on how the strength and direction of the other force relates to the strength and direction of the gravitational force. -- If the new force is directed up, it will slow the falling object, and possibly even make it stop falling and start rising. -- If the new force is directed down, it will make the falling object fall faster. -- If the new force is horizontal, it will make the object move horizontally as well as continuing to fall. -- If the new force is horizontal and strong enough, it will place the falling object into Earth orbit.
What force is working on a falling object?
Gravity
What force oppses the motion of an object falling through the air?
Nothing is opposing an object falling to earth. Gravity is causing an object to fall back to earth which is opposing the object from leaving earht. If anything the force that opposes gravity is the force at which an object is projected.
What 2 principal factors affect the force of air resistance on a falling object?
The shape of the object and the density of the gas that the object is falling through.
The acceleration of a falling object is cause by the force of?
Gravity
What is the force of gravity on a falling object?
9.81m/s2
What is the force that is primarily involved with a falling object?
gravity
