Here's why:
* Free: This refers to the absence of other forces acting on the object, except for gravity.
* Fall: This describes the downward motion caused by gravity.
Important things to remember about free fall:
* Constant acceleration: Objects in free fall experience a constant acceleration due to gravity, approximately 9.8 m/s² near the Earth's surface.
* Air resistance: In real-world scenarios, air resistance can significantly affect the motion of falling objects. However, the idealized concept of free fall assumes no air resistance.
