Because due to the presence of gravity. Gravity is a force that pulls you down. In space there is no gravity so you won't feel this force

What is it called when an object falling straight down without air resistance?
It is called Free Fall.
What is a falling object on which gravity is the only force?
Such an object is said to be in "free fall".
Does an object that is in free fall seems to be slowed or speeded by air resistance?
this is a complicated question! initially, air resistance slows objects in free fall down. until a point in which the object reachs terminal velocity! Terminal velocity is when the object is at its maximum speed free falling the air resistance is equal to the acceleration so the object now neither speeds or slows down. also, the bigger the surface area the object has, the higher the air resistance will be, lowering the terminal velocity of the object.
Where does the kinetic energy come from when you roll down a hill without making any effort?
The energy is from the force of gravity pushing the object down the hill, without gravity the object would not fall. The object would remain in place until acted upon by an outside force.
What does a unbalenced force on an object do?
causes the object to fall...
How does air effect the fall of an object?
it will slow the fall down a little.
When does the mass and or size of an object affect the time of its free fall?
if an object is lightr it will fall slower because gravity wont take it down as fast if it is heavier it will make the gravity pull it down faster
When an object ids dropped from a height it accelerates when it fall down name the force which accelerates the object?
That is called gravity.
What affects does gravity have on objects that fall in a down motion?
The same as on any other object that is in free fall (no matter in what direction it is currently moving): the object will be accelerated downward.
Why object fall to the ground?
Gravity pulls them down. Newtons Law of Gravity: what goes up must come down. objects fall to the ground because of gravity
What is free fall fall?
An object is in free fall only if its motion is subject to being both only affected by gravity and only moving up or down.
What is it called when an object falling straight down without air resistance?
It is called Free Fall.
What is a falling object on which gravity is the only force?
Such an object is said to be in "free fall".
What are to examples that illustrate the earth's gravitational pull?
For example, if you have something in your hand, and open your hand, the object will fall down.
When does mass cause an object to fall faster?
Mass does not cause an object to fall faster.
Why an object accelerates duting free fall?
there is a net force (gravity), which pulls it down, and as stated by newtons law, if the forces are not balanced on an object then the object will accellerate in the direction of the force, in this case, gravity is the force
When is an object to in free fall?
A falling object.
