* Gravity: The primary force acting on an object falling towards the ground is gravity. Gravity exerts a constant downward force, causing the object to accelerate.
* Acceleration: Acceleration means a change in velocity over time. Since gravity causes acceleration, the object's velocity will continuously increase as it falls.
Important Considerations:
* Air Resistance: In reality, air resistance (also known as drag) will oppose the object's motion. This will slow down the acceleration, but the velocity will still increase until it reaches a terminal velocity (a constant speed).
* Initial Velocity: If the object is initially thrown upwards, its velocity will decrease until it momentarily stops at its highest point. Then, as it falls, the velocity will increase again due to gravity.
Let me know if you'd like more details about any of these factors!
