What are free falling bodies?

In: Physics [Edit categories]

Answer:

Free falling bodies are bodies that the only force acting upon them is gravity.
A Free falling body is that which falls only under the action of gravity and no external force is applied on the body for its vertical motion.
for eg:fruit falling from a tree.......

Relevant answers:

What force is there on free falling body?
The force of gravity is the primary acting force. Air resistance acts in the opposite direction.
What are the example's of free falling body?
A freely falling body, as the name implies, is not hindered in its fall. "Not hindered" is to be understood as not appreciatively hindered for the purposes of describing its motion with a simple...
Is there uniform velocity in a free falling body?
If you mean in atmosphere, the answer is "yes". It's called "terminal velocity." What the velocity is depends upon the shape of the object, because of the resistance of the atmosphere. Mind you, not...
