If you define the positive direction as pointing down, then the falling object has positive acceleration.
Its magnitude is 9.8 m/s2.
If the object is falling close to earth the acceleration would be 9.81m/s^2. Be sure to define direction as positive or negative in the problem! (When I do problems I like to define the down direction as positive so I don't have to deal with too many negatives)
On Earth, a free-falling object has an acceleration of 9.8 meters per second2.
Acceleration. A free-falling object falls at constant force, and thereby at constant acceleration.
Either of these is referred to as positive acceleration: A) the object's velocity is increasing in the frame of reference B) the object is being moved in a positive direction in a coordinate plane
rate of acceleration
It reduces the acceleration of the falling object due to friction.
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.
Yes, a falling apple meets that condition.

Newton's Second Law of Acceleration says it is gravity.
