The equation of motion is not modified. Net force = mass x acceleration, whether freely falling or not.
The speed limit of falling objects is called terminal velocity. This is the constant speed that a freely falling object eventually reaches when the resistance of the medium it is falling through (like air) equals the force of gravity acting on it.
Yes, Galileo did express his observations on the rate of speed of falling objects in a mathematical formula. He showed that the distance fallen by a freely falling object is proportional to the square of the time it has been falling, which can be described by the equation d = 1/2 * g * t^2, where d is the distance fallen, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and t is time.
The gravity acting on a rising object and that on a falling object are the same when these objects are at the same height. What is different is that a rising object is decelerating by the force of gravity and the falling object is accelerating.
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.
The constant for an object falling freely towards the Earth is the acceleration due to gravity, which is approximately 9.8 m/s^2. This acceleration remains the same regardless of the mass of the object, resulting in all objects falling at the same rate in a vacuum.
The moon, Earth's artificial satelites, etc.

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

No.....because we need both mass and velocity to find the momentum if velocity is same that is 9.8m/s that is of free falling bodies.........mass will effect the final result.
Examples of freely falling bodies include an apple falling from a tree, a skydiver jumping out of a plane, and a rock dropped from a cliff. These objects fall under the influence of gravity with only the force of gravity acting upon them.
The conclusion of freely falling bodies is that all objects fall towards the Earth at the same rate of acceleration, regardless of their mass. This acceleration is approximately 9.81 m/s^2 and is known as the acceleration due to gravity.
Yes. The definition of "free fall" implies that gravity from Earth - or perhaps from different objects - is acting on the body.
A freely body is the body which is freely falling under the force of gravity i.e. an acceleration of 9.8 m/s2
