Question

What do you mean by freefall?

Answer 1

Hint: To give the appropriate solution of the given question, we need to dive into the concept of gravity.
Gravity is a force of attraction that generally exists between any two masses, any two bodies or any two particles and it is the same invisible force that pulls objects towards each other that is when you land on the ground after jumping instead of floating off into space, the credit goes to gravity.

Complete step by step answer:
A free falling object is basically an object that is falling under the sole influence of gravity and any object that is being acted upon only by the force of gravity is said to be in the state of free fall.
 One is advised to remember a couple points true for any free falling object, firstly, free falling objects do not encounter any air resistance when in the state and secondly, all free falling objects accelerate downwards at the rate of $9.8m{{s}^{-2}}$ which is the acceleration due to gravity on earth.

Note: One is also advised to remember that free fall acceleration can be witnessed by means of a strobe light demonstration where a room is darkened and a jug full of water is connected by a tube to a medicine dropper as the dropper drips water, the strobe illuminates the falling droplets at a regular rate. Instead of observing a stream of water free falling from the medicine dropper, several consecutive drops with increasing distances are seen and this pattern of drops resembles the dot diagram.
