When a body experiences free fall, it technically means that it only feels 1 force: gravity. Since this does not exist within earth's atmosphere, many people use the term casually when referring to feeling only gravity and wind resistance, such as in skydiving.

Neglection air resistanceabnody falling freely near the earth surface?
Neglecting air resistance, a body falling freely near the earth's surface falls with an acceleration of 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second per second, regardless of how big, small, light, or heavy it is.
How does the presence of air effect the rate at which a body falls?
It decreases the rate of increase of the velocity of the body.
What happens to the acceleration of an object as it falls through air?
-- If you really mean "falls through the air", then its acceleration steadily decreases. -- If you're actually thinking about an object that's "falling", with no air in the way and no other influence on it except gravity, then its acceleration is constant as it falls.
What are air falls?
air falls down to fall
What do you mean by Air Resistance?
Air resistance is something that slows down falling objects. A sheet of paper has a lot of air resistance, that is why it falls so slowly.

A stone falls freely from rest The total distance covered by it in the last second of its motion equals the distance covered by it in the first three seconds How long does the stone remain in air?

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
Why doesn't the earth Fall?
Earth is falling.Earth is falling freely around earth but due to inertia it dosent drops on sun it revolves around the sun just like a satellite.When a body falls in the absence of air(air friction)then it is said to be freely falling since there is no air in space therefore Earth is said to be freely falling.

Which body falls earlier wether a body of mass 1 kg or a body of mass 0.1 gm?
If there is no air resistance - or if, due to the conditions, air resistance is insignificant - both will fall together. If there is air resistance, usually the lighter body will be more affected by air resistance (in relation to its weight), and therefore fall slower.
What do you mean by Air Resistance?
Air resistance is something that slows down falling objects. A sheet of paper has a lot of air resistance, that is why it falls so slowly.
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.
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.
