If we are talking about something in the Earth's atmosphere then No, the object will reach a thermal velocity after which the velocity remains constant.
If we are talking about something falling where there is no atmosphere but still an attractive gravitational mass then yes.

Is free fall balanced or unbalanced?
An object in free fall is accelerating, so the forces on it must be unbalanced.
What keeps a falling object from accelerating?
Assuming the object is in free fall the only thing that can keep the object from accelerating in the opposing force of kinetic friction upward by air (known as air resistance).
What is it when a falling object stops accelerating?
terminal velocity, or free fall, as the air drag cancels gravity force and stops aacceleration
Does an object in free fall go faster or slower?
"Free fall" means that the only force on the object is the force of gravity. In that situation, the object is accelerating in response to the force, so it's going faster. Its speed is growing at a rate called the 'acceleration of gravity' at the place where it's located.
Do you have a force of gravity when an object is in a free fall?
The object in free fall is actually accelerating toward the earth, this acceleration is caused by gravity. So, yes gravity will be acting on a falling object and any object near the earth. It might help you to think of the same object on the other side of the earth falling up to remind you that it is the earth pulling on everything around it toward the centre. The phrase "free fall" is really misleading imoh.
Is work being done on an object in free fall?
Instead work on object, work is being done by the object during its free falling
What is a falling object on which gravity is the only force?
Such an object is said to be in "free fall".
What The downward force acting on an object in free fall is the force of?
If we neglect the effect of air resistance, an object is accelerating toward the ground at 9.8 m/s^2. When you determine an object's weight, you multiply its mass by this number. My point is that weight is the downward force on an object.
When an object in free fall?
An object is in free fall when only gravity and air resistance (drag) are acting on it. In space, free fall excludes drag.
What is an object in free fall?
An object in free fall is one that has only the force of gravity acting upon it.
When can you say that the object is free fall?
An object is said to be in free fall if the only force that acts on it is gravity.
When is an object to in free fall?
A falling object.
