A freely falling object is an object that moves under the influence of gravity only. Neglecting air resistance, all objects in free fall in the earth's gravitational field have a constant acceleration that is directed towards the earth's center, or perpendicular to the earth's surface, and of magnitude g = 9.8 m/s 2. If motion is straight up and down and we choose a coordinate system with the positive y-axis pointing up and perpendicular to the earth's surface, we describe the motion with Eq.(2.7), Eq.(2.8), Eq.(2.9) with a - g , xy .
Equations of Motion for the 1-d vertical motion of an object in free fall: * v = v0 - gt * y = v0t - gt 2 * v 2 = v02 - 2gy

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
Inside a freely-falling elevator would there be no apparent weight for you?
only if it equaled acceleration due to gravity (about 9.8 (m/s)/s)
What is orbital point?
Oribtal points are any location in space where an object may freely orbit around a planet, or other astral object, without falling to the planet below.
If an object falling freely downward was somehow equipped with a speedometer on a planet where the acceleration due to gravity is 20 meters per secondits speed reading would increase each second by?

If a freely falling object is equipped with a odometer Would the readings of distance falling each second indicate equal or unequal distances of fall for successive seconds?
It depends on how heavy the rock is. The heavier it is the faster it will fall. No. Acceleration due to gravity is independent of weight. Galileo proved as much. acceleration due to gravity is dependent on latitude but is always near 10m/s2
Where does the law of gravity operate?
Freely falling bodies
What are the factors affecting freely falling bodies?
force and gravity
Galileo reasoned that the distance a freely falling object travels is proportional to the square of the time true or false?
false
What is the effect of distance of freely falling bodies from the centre of the earth on gravitational acceleration?
a nswer
What is the conclusion of freely falling bodies?
the world is ending in 2013 hey little kids eat my dust
What is the effect of the mass of freely falling body on gravitational acceleration?
No effect whatsoever. Any two freely falling bodies fall with the same acceleration when dropped in the same place on the same planet. That includes any two objects falling on Earth. Someone is sure to jump in here and point out that objects with different mass don't fall with equal accelerations on Earth, and that's because of air resistance. They may even go on to provide answers to other questions that were not asked, such as a treatise on terminal velocity. All of that is true, even if confusing. This question stipulated that the bodies in question are "freely fallling". Bodies that are falling through air are not freely falling.
What are the examples of freely falling bodies?
a rocket which has lost its balance on coming into earth's atmosphere, a ball thrown from a height,etc
Why Galileo was great?
Galileo placed his argument that this world is like a sphere, and the sun is not revolving around the earth and earth is revolving around the sun before the many of the traditionalists and he had done some notorious research in astronomy using his telescope and he found base for parachute which is known as 'air-resistance'. And he framed some principles for 'freely-falling bodies'.hence he had found a place in the history of science.
The sumof the kinetic and potential energies of a freely falling body is?
If the body is freely falling, this sum will remain constant.
Does an object that is freely falling have mass?
Yes, mass is an intrinsic property of matter. However a freely falling object will experience no weight.
What is the answer to this Freely falling bodies undergo what acceleration?
The acceleration depends on the force of gravity. Near Earth's surface, this acceleration is approximately 9.8 meters per second square.
What changes in a freely falling body?
Velocity
