Because I know more than you and I am right and you are wrong so the answer is what I said it was because of gravity you idiot!!!!!!!!!

Why does and object accelerate when it falls toward Earth's surface?
Gravity is unopposed while an object is falling.
How does air resistance affect the acceleration of falling objects?
As a falling object accelerates through air, its speed increases and air resistance increases. While gravity pulls the object down, we find that air resistance is trying to limit the object's speed. Air resistance reduces the acceleration of a falling object. It would accelerate faster if it was falling in a vacuum.
What occurs when while the force is acting on an object?
If there is no counter-force (usually friction), the object will accelerate.
What is the greatest velocity a fallen object reaches?
If air resistance is significant, after falling for a while the air resistance will be as strong as the force of gravity; the two forces will be in equilibrium, and the object won't accelerate any more. This velocity is called "terminal velocity". The amount of this terminal velocity, and the time it takes to approach the terminal velocity, depends on the specific object that is falling.
What is the force on the ground of a 12kg acorn falling from a tree?
The impact force depends upon the height from which it has fallen (IE- its velocity upon impact), and the duration of impact (determined by the elasticity of the collision). However, the object exerts no force upon the ground *while* falling.
How is terminal velocity reached by a falling object?
While an object falls faster and faster, the backwards force of air resistance will increase. Once the force of air resistance equals the force of gravitation, the object will no longer accelerate, and is said to have reached "terminal velocity".While an object falls faster and faster, the backwards force of air resistance will increase.

What is the hypothesis of how does air resistance affect the velocity of falling objects?
The object opposes the air and while falling of the object the initial velocity will become zero , and the final velocity will have some value's this is how air will resist the velocity of falling object ...........
In what way is the motion of a freely falling object different from the motion of the cart?
motion of free falling object does not have friction, while motion of the cart has force of friction
Energy is conserved when an object gains speed while falling?
yes this true
Does a person falling from great heights die when they hit the ground or before impact?
When you hit the ground. While they are falling they are in the air, and falling in and of itself will not kill you. The impact will always kill you -- unless you have a heart attack during the fall.
Can an object accelerate opposite its velocity that is can you move backwards while accelerating forwards?
Yes, for example: if you throw a ball into the air its velocity is positive, but due to gravity the ball is also being pulled back to the ground (at 9.8 m/s).
When the only force affecting an object is gravity that object is in?
Freefall this means the objects is falling through the air while gravity is pulling.
