Ignoring the effects of air resistance, freely falling objects accelerate at a constant rate. On Earth, the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 meters per second squared or 32.2 feet per second squared. In the real world, however, objects don't speed up forever. Air resistance places a limit on how fast they can go.

∙ 14y agoThe speed of a free falling object is never constant. It changes with respect to time as a free falling object always is acted upon by g,i.e, acceleration due to gravity. thus, if v is the final speed of the particle, u is the initial velocity of the particle and t time then v= u+gt, where g =9.8/10(approx.)

∙ 14y agoA falling object doesn't have constant velocity.
It has constant acceleration. That means that its velocity increases at a steady (constant) rate.
The rate is called the "acceleration of gravity".

Velocity increases at a constant rate.

Is there a maximum speed of a free falling object?
yes, and the speed depends on the weight of the object
Will the object accelerate in free fall because the only force acting on its gravity?
A falling object will continue to accelerate when free falling, but each object has a maximum speed which it can reach (but go no faster than this speed) when free falling from great heights. True.
What is the maximum speed of any one free falling object?
it all depends on the object
What is the speed of a free falling object after ten seconds from rest?
It depends on the object's mass.
What factors influence the motion of a free falling object?
1.the speed 2.air 3.force
Is there a maximum speed of a free falling object?

What is the fastest free falling object known to man-is it a rain drop which is liquid or a solid object like a bb?
Everything falls at the same speed so there is no free falling object If everything falls at the same speed then everything is a free falling object... Air resistance or deflection controls the falling speed of any object, this crucial stipulation determines falling speed. I leanred this in flight school.. please someone intelligent communicate with me?

It depends on the object's mass.
What is the gain in speed of a freely falling object?
There is a uniform accleration of 9.8 m/s*s experienced by a free falling object, caused due to the earth's gravity.
What two-word term is the top speed reached by a free-falling object?
terminal velocity
What factors influence the motion of a free falling object?
1.the speed 2.air 3.force
Does an object on free fall increase in distance proportional?
an object free falling would continue to gain speed until met by a balanced force i.e. the ground
An object is dropped and is in free fall The speed of the falling object and the distance it falls are measured every second Which of the following is correct?
The speed stays thesame but the distance stays the same.
When is an object to in free fall?
A falling object.
What increases As an object falls freely in a vacuum?
the object's falling speed
