What is free fall?
What is free fall?
- The movement of an object after being thrown with a certain force
- The movement of an object under the influence of magnetic force after being released
- The movement of an object under the influence of air resistance after being dropped
- The movement of an object under the influence of gravitational force after being dropped (correct)

Study Notes
Free Fall and Gravity
- Free fall refers to the motion of an object falling solely under the influence of gravity, without any air resistance.
- The acceleration due to gravity is caused by the gravitational pull exerted by the Earth on objects.
- On Earth, the value of acceleration due to gravity, denoted by 'g', is approximately 9.81 m/s².
- When an object is dropped and falls solely under gravitational influence, this movement is called free fall.
- The force of gravity is the primary factor producing acceleration in an object falling freely towards the Earth’s surface.
