If gravity is the only force acting on a falling body, then its acceleration is constant

until it hits the ground, and the number is 9.81 meters (32.2 feet) per second2 .

What happens to the acceleration of an object as it falls through air?

-- If you really mean "falls through the air", then its acceleration steadily decreases. -- If you're actually thinking about an object that's "falling", with no air in the way and no other influence on it except gravity, then its acceleration is constant as it falls.

The acceleration of the object increases.


If an object falls with constant acceleration the velocity of the object must?

Changing at a constant rate equal to acceleration.


What happens when you drop an object?

When you drop an object, it falls due to gravity. The speed at which it falls depends on the object's mass and the force of gravity. If there is no air resistance, all objects fall at the same rate regardless of size or weight, as described by the acceleration due to gravity.

What happens to the force of an object if the object increases?

The acceleration increases.


What happens to the acceleration of an object as its mass decreases?

Acceleration is a net force that is inversely dependent on mass, therefore if an object's mass decreases, acceleration increases.


When an object falls freely to the ground its acceleration is uniform?

Yes, when an object falls freely due to gravity, its acceleration is uniform and equal to 9.8 m/s^2, directed towards the center of the Earth. This uniform acceleration is the result of the gravitational force acting on the object and is independent of the object's mass.


If the force acting upon an object is increased what happens to the object's acceleration?

In that case, the acceleration will also increase.
