Want this question answered?
It is a projectile falling with an acceleration equal to that of free fall. (an object falling in a vacuum at the earth's surface)
Neglecting air resistance, a body falling freely near the earth's surface falls with an acceleration of 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second per second, regardless of how big, small, light, or heavy it is.
If the body is freely falling, this sum will remain constant.
Yes, mass is an intrinsic property of matter. However a freely falling object will experience no weight.
Velocity

Yes, mass is an intrinsic property of matter. However a freely falling object will experience no weight.
Velocity
The equation of motion is not modified. Net force = mass x acceleration, whether freely falling or not.
The acceleration depends on the force of gravity. Near Earth's surface, this acceleration is approximately 9.8 meters per second square.
A freely body is the body which is freely falling under the force of gravity i.e. an acceleration of 9.8 m/s2
Freely falling bodies
