" ... in free fall. "
Gravity is the force primarily involved with a falling object. It pulls the object downward towards the center of the Earth.
When THE FRICTION BETWEEN THE OBJECT AND THE ATMOSPHEREequals the force of gravity on a falling object the object reaches terminal velocity.
Gravity
In a vacuum, a falling object experiences only its weight force due to gravity acting downwards. There are no other forces present to create any reaction force. As a result, the object accelerates downwards at a constant rate due to gravity.

In free fall
Gravity.
When an object is falling and the force of gravity is the only force acting on it, the object experiences a constant acceleration towards the Earth due to gravity. This acceleration is approximately 9.8 meters per second squared near the surface of the Earth.

Gravity
Acceleration of a falling object is caused by the force of gravity. Gravity is a force that pulls objects towards the center of the Earth, causing them to accelerate downward at a rate of 9.8 m/s^2.
