What else can I help you with?
Is it possible for an object in freefall to have no acceleration?
No, but it is possible to not have an increase in speed. Because velocity is a directional quantity, not a scalar one, an object in freefall (by definition within a gravity field) is always under acceleration, just not necessarily one that alters its speed or even its position. Objects in orbit around a planet are in freefall (hence weightlessness) where the tangential component of their forward motion opposes the pull of gravity.
Are objects in freefall weightless?
Objects in freefall are not weightless; they still have mass and therefore experience the force of gravity. However, in freefall, they are accelerating towards the Earth due to gravity, which gives the sensation of weightlessness as the force of gravity is canceled out by the acceleration.
When is an object that has been dropped from a great height to the air closest to being in freefall?
An object is closest to being in freefall right before it hits the ground, when air resistance has slowed it down such that its acceleration is primarily due to gravity. At that point, the object's speed is nearly constant and it is falling solely due to the force of gravity.
What is equivalent of acceleration due to gravity?
acceleration due to gravity of earth is 9.8ms-2
What force that can change when acceleration due to gravity changes?
I suppose you are asking about what forces change when acceleration due to gravity changes. In this case, the formula for forces concerning acceleration due to gravity is as such: fg=mg. When acceleration due to gravity(g) changes, it affects the force of gravity which is also known as the weight of the object. This is shown as fg.

What is the equation for distance?
Math: d=rt r=rate & t=time Physics: d=0.5gt2 (Freefall) g=acceleration due to gravity & t=time

What is Saturn's value for acceleration due to gravity?
Acceleration due to gravity on Saturn = 11.171 m/s2 (9.807 m/s2 on Earth)

An object in freefall accelerates at a constant rate of velocity?
An object in freefall accelerates at a constant rate due to the force of gravity acting on it. The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is approximately 9.81 m/s^2, causing the object's velocity to increase by this amount every second.
Will acceleration due to gravity change the weight of an object?
No, acceleration due to gravity does not change the weight of an object. Weight is determined by the mass of the object and the acceleration due to gravity in that location. The acceleration due to gravity affects the force with which an object is pulled toward the center of the Earth, leading to its weight.
What is accileration due to gravity on earth?
Acceleration due to gravityThe acceleration produced in the motion of a body under gravity is called Acceleration.
If an object is droppes how fast is it traveling after 1 seconds?
In freefall, an object's velocity at a certain time can be calculated using the equation v(t)=a*t Where a=acceleration. On Earth's surface, acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8 m/s^2
What are the effects of acceleration due to gravity on the time period of a pendulum?
The period of a pendulum (in seconds) is 2(pi)√(L/g), where L is the length and g is the acceleration due to gravity. As acceleration due to gravity increases, the period decreases, so the smaller the acceleration due to gravity, the longer the period of the pendulum.
