What is constant for freely falling body?
Acceleration. A free-falling object falls at constant force, and thereby at constant acceleration.
What is terminal motion?
the constant speed that a freely falling object eventually reaches when the resistance of the medium through which it is falling prevents further acceleration.
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 increases As an object falls freely in a vacuum?
the object's falling speed
As a freely falling object speeds up what is happening to its acceleration due to gravity?
Its acceleration due to gravity is constant. The acceleration is equal to the object's change in speed every second. I've tried to illustrate the constantly-increasing falling speed in my diagram below.

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.
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)
How do you increase the time of descent of a freely falling body?
*by reducing the weight or density of the falling object. *By introducing resistance to the falling object in the form of flat light weighted object. *giving parachute.
How does force and gravity effect a falling object?
Gravity is a force that accelerates the falling object towards the ground.
Does the velocity of an object increase when its falling freely in a vacuum?
It accelerates at a higher rate
Freely falling object were somehow equipped with a speedometer its speed reading would increase each second by about?
An object in a freefall acts solely under the influance of gravity and accelertes towards the ground at ecactly 9.8m/s*
What is the measure of the gravitational force on an object is?
Basically it is the object's "weight". The gravitational force on an object is its Mass X Gravitational Constant. The gravitational constant is the acceleration of a free falling body towards another body, and on Earth is equal to 9.81 meters/sec2 or 32.2 feet/sec2. Thus while the MASS of an object is a constant physical property, the WEIGHT of an object depends on the local gravity field pulling on that MASS.
