To be very technical and precise, the answer consists of two parts:
1). No.
2). Outside of laboratory conditions, there can be no free-falling objects on Earth.
"Free falling" means that there is no other force on the object except the gravitational one,
so there's no friction acting on it. But this situation is impossible on Earth, because anything
that falls is falling through air, so it does have friction acting on it ... called "air resistance" ...
and it's not free falling.
False. Free falling objects accelerate at a rate of 9.8 m/s^2 due to the force of gravity acting on them. The force of friction and air resistance do not significantly affect the acceleration of free falling objects in a vacuum.
Friction can be reduced in falling objects by minimizing the surface area in contact with the surrounding air. This can be achieved by streamlining the shape of the object. Additionally, using materials that are smoother or have low friction coefficients can help reduce the resistance encountered during the fall.
The type of friction that objects falling through air experience is called air resistance or drag. This friction force opposes the motion of the falling object, ultimately affecting its speed and trajectory.
Yes, objects falling in free fall have a constant acceleration due to gravity.
True. Objects falling through the air experience air resistance, which is a type of friction that opposes the motion of the object.
False. Free falling objects accelerate at a rate of 9.8 m/s^2 due to the force of gravity acting on them. The force of friction and air resistance do not significantly affect the acceleration of free falling objects in a vacuum.

A. True. Objects falling through the air experience air resistance, which is a type of friction that opposes the motion of the object.
Objects falling through air experience a type of fluid friction called air resistance or drag. This force opposes the motion of the falling object and slows it down as it moves through the air.
Air Resistance: a form of friction.
aerodynamic drag
You're fishing for "air resistance" but your description isn't correct. Air resistance doesn't "slow" a falling object. Once the object has built up to some particular speed of fall, air resistance prevents it from falling any faster.
Yes but due to air friction we cant see it free falling.
