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.

What is the effect of gravity on a falling object?

Gravity causes a falling object to accelerate towards the ground at a rate of approximately 9.8 m/s^2 (on Earth). This acceleration due to gravity increases the speed of the object as it falls towards the ground.


When is an object to in free fall?

A falling object.


What are the two characteristics of a free-falling object?

there arent any.


What is the acceleration of a falling object?

The acceleration of a falling object is called gravity. A free-falling object has an acceleration of 9.8 m/s/s when going downward on Earth.


What influences an object in free fall?

When an object is in free fall, it is accelerated by gravity. It is also acted on by air resistence(drag). No lift and no thrust are exerted as the question stated that the object was in free fall.


The only force acting on a falling object is gravity the object is said to be?

The object is said to be in free fall.


In free fall when the air resistance is equal to the weight of the falling object we say that the object has reached velocity?

In free fall, when the air resistance is equal to the weight of the falling object, we say that the object has reached ________ velocity.


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


When the only force on a falling object is gravity the object is said to be?

In free fall


When the only force acting on a falling object is the object is in free fall?

Gravity.


What are characteristics of a free falling object?

weight and drag


What are the characteristics of a free falling object?

weight and drag
