(any unit of distance) divided by (any unit of time)2 is a unit of acceleration.
The acceleration of gravity is usually expressed in meters/second2 or feet/second2 .

∙ 9y agoThe units for velocity in free fall are the same as the units for velocity in other situations. The metric (SI) unit for velocity is meters / second, but you can also use other units, such as kilometers / hour, knots, etc.

∙ 13y agoThe magnitude of acceleration is described by (any unit of length) divided by (any unit of time)2 .
The cause of the acceleration is completely irrelevant.

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.
What is the relationship between velocity mass force and acceleration?
Some relations. Newton's laws: F=ma N=mg Free fall: V=gh (free fall) Impact: m1v1+m2v2=m1u1+m2u2 (unelastic impact) Energy: Ek=(1/2)mv2 Ep=mgh
What is the opposite of free fall?
The antonym for free fall is upturn. Free fall also has several synonyms such as dive, plummet, plunge, drop, and collapse.
If you throw an object towards the ground would it acceleration be greater or less thatn an object free falling?
Both objects would eventually reach terminal velocity which means they would both fall at the same speed.- But - compared to the falling object, the downward acceleration of a thrown object is the same.
What causes free fall?
if there is nothing supporting you.
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 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.
In free fall do all objects fall with the same acceleration?
yes, objects fall at a rate of 9.8m/swith acceleration. For every second in free fall you must add 9.8m/s to get the acceleration of an object.
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
Why the acceleration is constant in free fall?
Because there is only gravitatinal acceleration
Weight equals mass X acceleration of free-fall?
No, because acceleration of free fall is gravitational acceleration minus air resistance. Weight does not involve air resistance.
What occurs when objects free fall near the Earths surface constant acceleration?
Yes, exactly. Free fall results in constant acceleration.
How do I find the free-fall acceleration only knowing the variables of distance and initial speed?
Acceleration in free fall is always the acceleration of gravity = 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second2
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.
An object in free fall seems to be?
the object in free fall's acceleration depends on its mass
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.
What occurs when objects free fall near earth's surface?
Constant acceleration
