Free fall is a situation in which an object moves only under the influence of gravity
. It is a natural phenomenon on Earth without support, where an object falls towards the Earth's surface under the influence of gravity
. An object in free fall experiences an acceleration of -9.8 m/s/s
. This acceleration of free fall is also known as gravitational acceleration
. The motion of an object in free fall can be described by four kinematic equations
. These equations can be used to solve problems involving free fall
