* Velocity is a measure of both speed and direction.
* Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes over time.
When an object falls, its velocity increases due to the force of gravity. This increase in velocity is its acceleration.
Important Note:
* In a simplified scenario where we ignore air resistance, the acceleration due to gravity is constant, approximately 9.8 m/s² on Earth. This means the velocity of the falling object increases by 9.8 meters per second every second.
* In reality, air resistance plays a significant role, affecting the acceleration of a falling object. The object will eventually reach a terminal velocity where the force of gravity and air resistance balance out, and the acceleration becomes zero.
