every body continues in the state of rest or of uniform motion unless an external force acts on it
The spreading of the arms and legs slows the fall and gives the skydiver more control of the fall.
The antonym for free fall is upturn. Free fall also has several synonyms such as dive, plummet, plunge, drop, and collapse.
An example would be "any object that is moving through the air, water or other substance at a rate such that it cannot possibly go faster without additional force being applied." "Terminal Velocity" in dropping a rock from an airplane might mean "the fastest the rock can possibly fall on its own." Once the rock reached that velocity, it would not be able to go faster despite that it had accelerated to that point without additional force (or increased gravity) being applied to the rock. rock from plane when force down = force up force down = mg (newtons) force up = force of air resistance (velocity ^2* drag coefficient ) newtons. you can use known terminal velocity to calculate drag coefficient if mass is known.
Fall is also known as Autumn. It is when the leaves fall off of the trees (except for evergreens) in preparation for winter (when you get tons of snow).
Things fall in the direction that we call "down". BTW, "down" may point in different "absolute" directions.
A fall. Sudden dismount?

You go to the doctors.

I fall for your love
It hurts when the dog gets up and bites you.

It's not the fall...it's the sudden stop.
