If a ball falls freely is the distance it falls each second the same?

No. When the ball falls, there are two forces acting on it; one is the gravitational force and the other air resistance, which is dependant on speed. At the point it is released. Its instantaneous speed is 0m/s The next second, 10m/s, (result of acceleration). the ball will undergo decreasing acceleration. Thus the distance it falls each second is different.

A ball is dropped freely from rest If it travels a distance 53.9metres in the 6th second of its journey find its acceleration?
9.8
Which properties of a ball is conserved as it falls freely in a vacuum?
massvolumedensitycolordiametercostweightshapetotal energy (potential + kinetic)
A ball of mass 5kg falls freely from a height of 8m to the ground calculate the workdone by tha ball in the process?
the work done by the ball is given by the equation, W=mgh =(5)(9.8)(8) =392 joules.
What type of energy does a ball have at the top of its arc?
The potential energy that gathered as the ball was ascending rapidly converts to kinectic energy as the ball falls downwards, at a rate of 9.801 meters/second squared.
Does gravity affect a soccer ball when it falls?
yes!.... it will affect a soccer ball when it falls because if the gravity affects you, it will affect a ball.

Why a leaf and ball does not fall freely at same time?
They would fall in same time in a vacuum, but if air is present the ball falls faster due to high air resistance on the leaf

How much work does the force of gravity do on a 5.45-kg bowling ball that falls a distance of 0.755m?
41.1j
If a player from first to second runs into the base before the ball gets there but the baseman reaches for the ball and knocks the runner off the base and falls on him then tags him is he out?
no

If a ball stopped on the edge of a pocket falls in the pocket after another shot is played what is the status of that ball?
If the ball went in the pocket during the second shot, then it was sunk on that shot just as if it had been hit down by another ball.

A ball is dropped off a ledge How far does it fall in the second second?
It all depends on the weight of the ball but if a tennis ball was thrown it would travel 2 1/2M in 2 seconds but cannot be calculated like this because the further the ball falls the more speed it gains. However there is a trick to this question because the 2nd second is only one second itself. making the answer 1M and 10CM !
What is the net force acting on a freely falling 1-kg ball if it encounters 2 N of air resistance?
The idea is to calculate the downward force of gravity, and then subtract the air resistance, since it acts in the opposite way. This assumes that the ball falls directly downward.
Ball is dropped from the top of a building One second later ball B is dropped from the same building as time progresses does the distance between them increase?
Yes.
