Gravity causes falling objects to accelerate.
If there is no air resistance, gravity will accelerate the falling object, that is, it will change its velocity.
The force of gravity will accelerate the falling objects towards itself.
Gravity causes objects to fall and to accelerate.
The effect of gravity on ANY object - falling or not - is to pull it downward. If the object is in free fall, it will accelerate downwards.
There sure is. Gravity goes all the way to infinity. But if you are in conditions of free fall, gravity will not be felt.The orbiting projectile is constantly falling yet the Earth's surface is also constantly falling out of reach.
The rate is 9.8m/sec
No
Gravity is unopposed while an object is falling.
It accelerates at a constant acceleration equal to the acceleration of gravity. However in air the air resistance will slow the acceleration until it reaches terminal velocity and falls at a constant velocity with zero acceleration as the air force balances the gravity force
Sir Isaac Newton and Galileo both studied the effects of gravity on falling bodies.
