Does gravity do work when objects fall?

Yes, gravity does work on objects as they fall. Work is done whenever a force causes displacement in the direction of the force, and in the case of falling objects, gravity is the force causing the displacement. This work is converted into the object's kinetic energy as it accelerates towards the ground.
