A free body diagram is a representation of how the forces that are acting on a point or particle interact. You place your point at the origin and then draw your forces with their tails placed at the point

What is it called when the motion of a body when only gravity is acting on the body?

You're probably thinking of the term 'free-fall' or 'freely falling', or in relativity you might say it follows a 'geodesic'.


What is constant for freely falling body?

The acceleration due to gravity is constant for a freely falling body. This means that the object will experience a constant acceleration of 9.81 m/s^2 (on Earth) in the downward direction, regardless of its mass. This allows us to predict the motion of the object using equations of motion.


What is a freely falling projectile?

A freely falling projectile is an object that is only acted upon by gravity, moving through the air in a parabolic path while falling towards the ground. It does not have any initial horizontal force or acceleration other than gravity acting upon it.


What is the effect of the mass of freely falling body on gravitational acceleration?

No effect whatsoever. Any two freely falling bodies fall with the same acceleration when dropped in the same place on the same planet. That includes any two objects falling on Earth. Someone is sure to jump in here and point out that objects with different mass don't fall with equal accelerations on Earth, and that's because of air resistance. They may even go on to provide answers to other questions that were not asked, such as a treatise on terminal velocity. All of that is true, even if confusing. This question stipulated that the bodies in question are "freely fallling". Bodies that are falling through air are not freely falling.


How can a free body diagram be used to analyze the forces acting on a loop in a roller coaster?

A free body diagram can help analyze the forces acting on a loop in a roller coaster by showing all the external forces acting on the loop, such as gravity, normal force, and tension. This diagram can help determine if the loop will have enough speed to complete the loop without falling off or if additional forces are needed to keep the riders safe.

What is the meaning of Free Falling?

Let's imagine there is no air resistance and that gravity is the only thing affecting a falling object. Such an object would then be in free fall. Freely falling objects are affected only by gravity


Is there any force acting on an object which is falling freely?

Yes. The definition of "free fall" implies that gravity from Earth - or perhaps from different objects - is acting on the body.


What is the definition of free fall?

when the acceleration of the freely falling object is equal to the acceleration due to gravity then there occurs free fall.

Is the constant acceleration of a free falling body?

YES


What the concept of free fall?

Free fall means that the body is falling but wihout the effect of gravity. at free fall g=0 and when g=0 then it means body is falling with constant velocity.


What do you call a diagram showing all forces acting on an object?

What is the gain in speed of a freely falling object?

There is a uniform accleration of 9.8 m/s*s experienced by a free falling object, caused due to the earth's gravity.
