Free fall occurs whenever all the local objects are accelerating together with nothing obstructing the force of gravity (you can approximate this in an elevator or an aeroplane or even by jumping off a diving board.
Micro gravity is a relative term used to describe the gravitational force around small objects - say a comet ... or even a space station.

How does gravity affect weight mass microgravity and free fall?
Gravity does not effect mass, weight is what you get when you resist the effects of gravity. (Note that in "free fall" and/or "micro gravity" you are not resisting.)
Which force acts on an object in free fall?
In free fall is should be gravity, obviously if an object is falling it should be gravity.
What forces are at work in free fall?
gravity is the only force in free fall because free fall is when gravity is the only force acting upon an object
How is gravity related to free fall?
Gravity and free fall are similar because they are both a force that pulls objects downward. <><><><><> Gravity is the force that pulls you down. Free fall is when you have no opposing force keeping you up.
How is the acceleration of an object in free-fall related to the acceleration due to gravity?
The acceleration in free fall IS the acceleration due to gravity, since "free fall" is the assumption that no forces other than gravity act on the object.
How does gravity affect weight mass microgravity and free fall?
Gravity does not effect mass, weight is what you get when you resist the effects of gravity. (Note that in "free fall" and/or "micro gravity" you are not resisting.)
Are astronauts in space shuttle in free fall?
It's called micro gravity but basically yes. They are just falling around the planet.
What is the meaning of free fall and gravity?
without gravity there can be no free fall. The only time humans have eperienced free fall is within a space craft where gravity is regulated.
Which force acts on an object in free fall?
In free fall is should be gravity, obviously if an object is falling it should be gravity.

What was the purpose of the International Space Station?
The ISS is used for various research projects and experiments that can only be performed in micro-gravity. (free-fall, or zero G)
How is the acceleration of an object in free-fall related to the acceleration due to gravity?
The acceleration in free fall IS the acceleration due to gravity, since "free fall" is the assumption that no forces other than gravity act on the object.
Which term describes motion without air resistance to gravity?
free fallThe term that describes motion that does not resistance to gravity is called free fall. This means that gravity does not caught you.
When is an object said to be in free fall?
In free fall, the force of gravity alone causes an object to accelerate in the downward direction.
The states that exists when the only force acting on an object is gravity?
When the only force on an object is the force of gravity,we say that the object is in "free fall".
What is is meant by gravitational free fall?
gravity
