Step 1
An object in free-fall is moving under the influence of gravity only. This is because free-fall refers to the motion of an object when the only force acting on it is gravity. Therefore, the object is moving solely due to the gravitational force pulling it Show more…

Free falling objects accelerate at 9.8 m/s because the force of acts on them. speed gravity magnitude motion
Adi S.
An object is in free fall (neglecting air resistance.) Select one: when it is moving downward and no forces are acting on it. when it is moving and the sum of all acting forces is zero. when it is moving upward or downward and gravity is the only acting force. only when it is moving downward and gravity is the only acting force. Which of the following is true? Select one: a. The free-fall acceleration vector will always point in the same direction as the velocity vector. b. The free-fall acceleration vector will become zero when the projectile reaches its highest point. c. The free-fall acceleration vector always points downward.
