What criteria must be met in order for an object to be in free fall?

It's about as simple as it sounds. an object with no other force exerted on it but the force of gravity itself that is not in contact with a surface is in free fall. The only minor draw back you have is wind resistance. Everything would fall at the exact same velocity if not for variations in mass distributions and wind.=====================Answer #2:The definition of free fall is: NO other force acting on the object other than theforce of gravity. So if you're falling through air, you're not in free fall. Sky diversuse the term, and they're welcome to it, but technically, it's not really.
