A skydiver.

Any TV satellite.
The Moon.
Free fall is the motion of an object falling under the sole influence of gravity, without any air resistance. An example of free fall is when a skydiver jumps out of an airplane and accelerates downward due to gravity pulling them towards the Earth.
A dust particle.
Free fall is exactly what the name suggest. A free fall is when an object falls downwards with NO OTHER FORCE acting upon it. An example of a free fall would be if you pushed your friend off an airplane. while he is falling he is experiencing no force but gravity (a free fall). Don't worry though, he had a parachute he deployed later on.
When an object is in free fall, the normal force acting on it is zero, making it less than its weight (mg).
An example of free fall is when an object is falling under the sole influence of gravity, without any other forces acting on it. For instance, dropping a ball from a height and watching it fall straight downwards with no air resistance would be considered free fall.

The object is said to be in free fall.
An object is in free fall when only gravity and air resistance (drag) are acting on it. In space, free fall excludes drag.
An object in free fall is one that has only the force of gravity acting upon it.
Free fall is the term in Newtonian physics used to describe the motion of an object under the influence of gravity alone. Such an object moves along a geodesic. One example of an object always in free fall is Earth's moon.
A falling object.
The only force that can act on an object in free fall is gravity.
No, work is not being done on an object in free fall because work is defined as the transfer of energy that results in displacement, and in free fall the object's displacement is vertical due to gravity. Since the force of gravity is acting parallel to the object's displacement, the angle between the force and displacement is 180 degrees, resulting in no work being done.
