* Gravity: The primary force acting on the ball is gravity. Gravity pulls the ball downwards, causing it to accelerate.
* Acceleration: Acceleration means that the ball's velocity is constantly changing, getting faster and faster.
* Neglecting Air Resistance: In a simplified scenario where we ignore air resistance, the ball will continue to accelerate at a constant rate (approximately 9.8 m/s² on Earth).
Important Note: Air resistance will play a role in real-world scenarios. As the ball falls faster, it encounters more air resistance, which opposes its motion. Eventually, the ball will reach a terminal velocity where the force of air resistance equals the force of gravity, and the ball will stop accelerating.
