The downward force acting on an object in free fall is the force of what?
The downward force acting on an object in free fall is Gravity.
The downward force acting on an object in free fall is the force of?
Gravity
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.
Does the speed of free fall affected by the density of the object?
No. When an object is in free fall it has a downward force (it's mass) and an opposite, upward force of air resistance.
How does the downward component of the motion of a projectile compare to the motion of vertical free fall?
They're equal.

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.
How does the downward component of the motion of a projectile compare to the motion of free fall?
They are the same, if the effect of air resistance is ignored.
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.
What is it called when a satellite's inertia carries it forward while gravity pulls it downward?
A term often used in this case is free fall.
What is the speed and acceleration of the penny as it falls of a clip and is in free fall?
The acceleration of objects in free fall, close to Earth's surface, is 9.8 meters/second2, downward. (It doesn't matter whether it is a penny; any object in free fall accelerates at the same rate.) Precisely because it is accelerating, the speed changes all the time. If it starts at rest, after one second its speed will be 9.8 m/s (downward), after two second twice that amount, etc.
What is the effect of gravity on a falling object?
The effect of gravity on ANY object - falling or not - is to pull it downward. If the object is in free fall, it will accelerate downwards.
