* Constant Acceleration: The object experiences a constant acceleration due to gravity, denoted by 'g' (approximately 9.8 m/s² on Earth). This means its velocity increases at a steady rate.
* Increasing Velocity: The object's velocity continuously increases as it falls. Since it starts from rest (initial velocity = 0), its speed will be constantly changing.
* Linear Relationship between Velocity and Time: The object's velocity is directly proportional to the time it has been falling. This means if you double the time, you double the velocity.
* Increasing Distance: The object covers increasing distances over equal time intervals. This is because its velocity is constantly increasing. The relationship between distance and time is not linear, but rather a quadratic one.
* Negligible Air Resistance: In the absence of friction, there is no air resistance to oppose the object's motion. This means the only force acting on the object is gravity.
Important Note: In real-world scenarios, air resistance (friction) is always present. This will cause the object's acceleration to decrease over time, and its terminal velocity (maximum speed) will be reached. However, the principles outlined above still provide a good understanding of the basic dynamics of falling objects.
