Gravity, Air Resistence, Terminal Velocity, and Projectile Motion
... acted upon only by the force of gravity is said to be in a state of free fall. There are two important motion characteristics which are true of freefalling objects: – Free-falling objects do not encounter air resistance. – All free-falling objects (on Earth) accelerate downwards at a rate of 9.8 m/s ...
