The general interpretation is that in free fall, a body will be continuously accelerated by the force of gravity. Gravity, which is a constant force, will speed things up, but will continue to accelerate them because it is, as stated, a constant force, not an instantaneous one. It pulls, and keeps pulling to accelerate a body in free fall. And that is why a body in free fall accelerates due to gravity. By the way, we don't know too much about gravity. It's just an fundamental force associated with any mass that causes the mass to be attracted to any other mass. And the more mass something has, the more gravity it has. Just so you know.

How is the acceleration of an object in free-fall related to the acceleration due to gravity?
The acceleration in free fall IS the acceleration due to gravity, since "free fall" is the assumption that no forces other than gravity act on the object.
How do I find the free-fall acceleration only knowing the variables of distance and initial speed?
Acceleration in free fall is always the acceleration of gravity = 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second2
What is 9.8s2?
9.8 m/ s^2 is Standard Gravity or standard acceleration due to free fall [1]It's also known as free fall, if you want to get specific.
The free fall acceleration of an object under earth's gravity is directed where?
The center of the Earth.
The acceleration due 2 gravity of all objects in free fall is the same?
if you are asking that, in general, all objects accelerate at an equal speed due to gravity in free fall, yes.they are slowed by air resistance.

What is meant by free?
"Free fall" in Physics refers to the acceleration due to gravity which is approximately 9.81 meters per second per second.
What is the definition of free fall?
when the acceleration of the freely falling object is equal to the acceleration due to gravity then there occurs free fall.
What is is meant by gravitational free fall?
gravity
When does a body has a positive acceleration during free fall?
When affected by gravity.

The center of the Earth.
Does free-fall acceleration vary on other planets?
Yep. So would terminal velocity in free-fall. It would depend entirely on the gravity of the planet.
When the lift rider feels wightlessness when the lift falls down or when the lift descends with uniform acceleration?
If the lift is in free fall, any riders will feel "weightless". Uniform downward acceleration will *only* produce "weightlessness" if the acceleration is equal to the acceleration due to gravity (id est, acceleration in free fall).
The acceleration due 2 gravity of all objects in free fall is the same?
if you are asking that, in general, all objects accelerate at an equal speed due to gravity in free fall, yes.they are slowed by air resistance.
How is free fall related to acceleration?
during free fall of body the gravity of earth tries to attract the body as it applied equally to whole body ... so body do not experience any gravitational force and there is nothing present in the atmosphere to oppose the fall which results it have maximum acceleration during free fall....
