A free body diagram is a representation of how the forces that are acting on a point or particle interact. You place your point at the origin and then draw your forces with their tails placed at the point

1) A free body diagram shows all the forces that act on a body.

2) "Free fall" means that the only force that acts on the body is gravity, so you would only only draw a vector for the force of gravity, downward.

What is constant for freely falling body?

Acceleration. A free-falling object falls at constant force, and thereby at constant acceleration.


What is a freely falling projectile?

It is a projectile falling with an acceleration equal to that of free fall. (an object falling in a vacuum at the earth's surface)


What is it called when the motion of a body when only gravity is acting on the body?

You're probably thinking of the term 'free-fall' or 'freely falling', or in relativity you might say it follows a 'geodesic'.


What is a diagram in which all of the forces acting on an object shown?

That's known as a free body diagram.


What is the meaning of Free Falling?

Let's imagine there is no air resistance and that gravity is the only thing affecting a falling object. Such an object would then be in free fall. Freely falling objects are affected only by gravity


What is the definition of free fall?

when the acceleration of the freely falling object is equal to the acceleration due to gravity then there occurs free fall.


Is there any force acting on an object which is falling freely?

Yes. The definition of "free fall" implies that gravity from Earth - or perhaps from different objects - is acting on the body.


How fast is the acceleration of a falling body?

if body is free falling state its acceleration would be 9.8meter/second2

In what way is the motion of a freely falling object different from the motion of the cart?

motion of free falling object does not have friction, while motion of the cart has force of friction


What is exactly meant by a freely of falling object?

If an object is in "free fall", it means that the only force acting on it is gravity.


What is the gain in speed of a freely falling object?

There is a uniform accleration of 9.8 m/s*s experienced by a free falling object, caused due to the earth's gravity.
