About 9.8 meters/second2. This means that every second, the velocity will change 9.8 meters/second.

What is the acceleration of an object in free-fall?
On Earth, a free-falling object has an acceleration of 9.8 meters per second2.
The free fall acceleration of an object under earth's gravity is directed where?
The center of the Earth.
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.
What is the magnitude of the acceleration of an object in free fall near earth's surface?
-9.81 m/s2
What is the rate of acceleration an object encounters in free fall?
acceleration encountered by an object in free fall is 'g' or 9.8 m/s2
What is the acceleration of an object in free-fall?
On Earth, a free-falling object has an acceleration of 9.8 meters per second2.
The free fall acceleration of an object under earth's gravity is directed where?
The center of the Earth.
What is the acceleration of an object in a free fall at Earth's surface?
The acceleration is 9.807 meters per second squared.
What is the relationship between free-fall acceleration and mass?
The rate of free-fall acceleration is a constant based upon the local gravity - on planet Earth the acceleration is 9.8m/s2. Mass is a function of the object being measured or observed, which can vary considerably. The two do not directly affect each other, but both taken together determine the force of the object in free-fall - by knowing the free-fall acceleration and the mass of the object, you can calculate how hard it will impact the Earth.

Near earth's surface an objects free fall acceleration increases as its?
Near earth's surface, an object's free fall acceleration is constant.The value is 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second2. That number is called the 'acceleration of gravity on earth'.
Near earth's surface an objects free fall acceleration increases as its do weight have anything to do with acceleration?
Near earth's surface one object's free-fall acceleration is the same as every other object'sfree-fall acceleration. The number is 9.8 meters (32.1 feet) per second2.Weight, mass, size, volume, density, age, color, or cost have nothing to do with free-fall acceleration.If an object falls with a smaller acceleration, it's only because air has gotten in the way, and the objectis not in 'free' fall.
An object in free fall seems to be?
the object in free fall's acceleration depends on its mass
What is the definition of free fall?
when the acceleration of the freely falling object is equal to the acceleration due to gravity then there occurs free fall.
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)
