Would a parachutist be considered a free falling object and why?
The falling of a parachutist without his parachute deployed will be quite fast. We can slow his decsent by putting a drag on the free fall with a parachute. The fall is no longer free of drag (friction).
What is freefalling?
free falling is whena gravity is pulling a object or anything down and no other forces are acting on it.
What are some examples of gravational energy?
A free fall parachutist falling to earth, the effect of the moon and sun on ocean tides, a drop hammer in a workshop
How can consider that an object is moving in free fall?
An object is free falling when the only force acting on the object is gravity.
Does an free falling object has an frictional effect?
To be very technical and precise, the answer consists of two parts: 1). No. 2). Outside of laboratory conditions, there can be no free-falling objects on Earth. "Free falling" means that there is no other force on the object except the gravitational one, so there's no friction acting on it. But this situation is impossible on Earth, because anything that falls is falling through air, so it does have friction acting on it ... called "air resistance" ... and it's not free falling.

What is the motion of body when only the force of gravity is acting on it?
Free falling.
Who sets the parachutist free?
Simon
When the only force acting on a falling object is the object is in free fall?
Gravity.
Does a parachutist considered as a free falling object?
Yes, then not really, then definitely not: * Yes ... immediately after jumping. * Not really ... once terminal velocity is reached. * Definitely not ... after the parachute opens.
What is the meaning of free falling and how is it related to force?
Free falling isn't actually related to force, when you free fall you are falling because of gravity, gravity is one of the four known forces, but gravity is simply the warping of the fabric of space and time, you fall because the earth streches that fabric, and you fall or sink into it, like a bowling ball on a trampoline. There are no forces acting on you, rather you are simply moving with the fabric which you exist in, which has been warped by the force of gravity. Free Fall is where an object whose motion is due to gravity ALONE.
How can consider that an object is moving in free fall?
An object is free falling when the only force acting on the object is gravity.
When the only force acting on a falling object is gravity the oject is said to be?
in free fall
When the only force acting on a falling object is gravity?
This is commonly known as Free Fall
When the only force acting on an falling object is gravity the object is said to be?
In free fall.
