Earth's gravity pulls all objects toward its center of mass, or in most cases toward the surface.
Gravity is a property of matter,and causes every mass to exert a force on every other mass. In this case, the Earth's gravity applies a force to every object on it, and that force will accelerate an object toward the Earth's center, unless it is prevented by some intervening mass. It will still have the potential to accelerate again if the intervening mass is removed.

a constant net force acting on an object causes the object to accelerate.

How do objects in free fall in a vacuum accelerate?
Because in air there is gravity which can make that to accerelate
How is gravity related to free fall?
Gravity and free fall are similar because they are both a force that pulls objects downward. <><><><><> Gravity is the force that pulls you down. Free fall is when you have no opposing force keeping you up.
The acceleration due 2 gravity of all objects in free fall is the same?
if you are asking that, in general, all objects accelerate at an equal speed due to gravity in free fall, yes.they are slowed by air resistance.
Why do different objects in free fall not all fall at the same rate when you test it?
Without air resistance or other forces (other than gravity, that is), falling objects will accelerate at the same rate, and they will take the same time to fall a certain distance. If this is not the case, then the most likely cause is there IS air resistance.
Do heavier objects fall with a greater acceleration than lighter objects in free fall?
false
When is an objects to be in free fall?
In free fall, the force of gravity alone causes an object to accelerate in the downward direction.

What is the direction that gravity causes objects to accelerate?
Free fall is caused when gravity pulls it toward earth

false
How does an object accelerate during free fall?
V (m/s) = 0.5 x 9,81 m / s2 x t2t = time in seconds
When is an object said to be in free fall?
In free fall, the force of gravity alone causes an object to accelerate in the downward direction.
In free fall all objects fall with the same acceleration?
In free fall in a vacuum, all objects fall at the same rate of acceleration. In air, however, friction comes into play, so that various objects can fall at different rates.
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.
How is friction reduced in falling objects?
free fall
