  • Understanding Freefall: Objects Under Gravity Alone
    A falling object under the influence of only gravity is in freefall.

    Here's why:

    * Freefall means the only force acting on the object is gravity.

    * This means there is no air resistance, no wind, no propulsion, just the constant pull of gravity.

    It's important to note that:

    * Freefall doesn't necessarily mean the object is falling downwards. An object thrown upwards is also in freefall as long as only gravity is acting on it.

    * Freefall is an idealized concept. In reality, air resistance is always present, but in many cases, it's negligible enough to consider an object in freefall.

    Let me know if you have any other questions!
