If air resistance can be neglected, the object will fall faster and faster.
If air resistance is significant, the object will fall faster and faster, until it asymtotically approaches a "terminal velocity" - the velocity at which the downward pull of gravity is in equilibrium with the air resistance.

What is the acceleration of an object in free fall at Earths surface?
9.8 m/sec2 or 32.2 ft/sec2 (Both are rounded).
What occurs when objects free fall near the Earths surface constant acceleration?
Yes, exactly. Free fall results in constant acceleration.
If an object is in free fall after each second how does the object fall?
The speed of an object in free fall near the earth's surface is always 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second morethan it was one second earlier.
What is the velocity of an object that has been in free fall for 1.5 s?
In this case, speed = time x acceleration. If this happens close to Earth's surface, the acceleration is approximately 9.8 meters/second2.
Gravitational potential energy is the energy an object possessesdue to its position related to earths surface?
Gravitational potential energy is: m*g*h m=mass g=acceloration due to gravity h=height in relation to zero level/energy because earth's surface (with rare exception) is zero level/energy, meaning that you cant make things fall further than the surface of earth; the potential energy of an object changes based on how much distance you put between the surface and the object, yes.
While an object near the earths surface is in free fall its mass increases?
No. The mass is constant. Until it hits.
Where on earths surface does most most precipitation fall?
Where on earth surface does most precipitation fall
What is the acceleration of an object in free fall at Earths surface?
9.8 m/sec2 or 32.2 ft/sec2 (Both are rounded).
What is the water that moves across earths surface after a rain fall called?
Runoff
What must occur before precipitation can fall on earths surface.?
Evaporation and condensation
Does water particles fall to the earths surface after their temperature increases?
No when there density increases
What happens to the Earth's surface during Fall?
the earth's surface as a continental drift
Why does an object with greater surface area fall slower than an object with less surface area?
noboby really knows the answer to this tricky question :(
What occurs when objects free fall near the Earths surface constant acceleration?
Yes, exactly. Free fall results in constant acceleration.
If an object is in free fall after each second how does the object fall?
The speed of an object in free fall near the earth's surface is always 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second morethan it was one second earlier.
What is the angle an object falls from?
if you let go of a stone and allow it to fall it will accelerate toward the earths centre of gravity
If an object is dropped from a given height does the object fall in a straight line towards the Earths core OR is it's path changed in any way by the influence of the rotation of the Earth?
It depends on your point of observation. It may appear to curve if you are stationary with respect to the surface of the Earth, though with respect to the travel of the object it will (with ever-so-slight perterbations by the sun, moon, etc.) fall directly toward the center of the Earth.
