Free fall is the motion of an object under the effect of gravitational force only.

Important note
• Free fall does not mean that the object is falling down only.
• Objects thrown upward or downward and those released from rest are all the examples of free fall.

Falling objects & air resistance
In vacuum both feather and apple falls at the same rate.
Reason:In vacuum there is no air, it means
there is no air resistance.So surface area and mass makes
no difference.

• During each second of fall, the speed of a ball changes by 9.8 m/s.
• The change in speed is due to gravity.
• Hence, the acceleration in this case is called acceleration due to gravity.
𝑔=9.8m /s2

Equations of motion for free fallKinematical equations of motion is also applicable for free fall because, free fall is an example of uniformly accelerated motion.
