Take a small stone. Hold it in your hand. We know that the force gravity due to the earth acts on each and every object. When we were holding the stone in our hand, the stone was experiencing this force, but it was balanced by a force that we were applying onn it in the opposite direction. As a result, the stone remained at rest. Once we release the stone from our hands the only force that acts onit is the gravitational force of the earth and the stone falls down under its influence. Whenever an object moves under the influence of the force of gravity alone, it is said to be falling freely. Thus the released stone is in a free fall. In free fall, the initial velocity of the object is zero and goes on increasing due toi acceleration due to gravity of the earth. During free fall, the frictional force due to air opposes the motion of the object anda buoyant force also acts on the object. Thus, true free fall is posible only in vacuum. For a freely falling object, the velocity on reachign the earth and the time taken for it can be calculated by using Newton's eqwuations of motion. For free fall the initial velocity u=0 and the acceleration a=g . Thus, we can write the equations as v="gt",s=1/2"gt"^(2),v^(2)=2gs For calculating the motion of an object thrown upwards, acceleration is negative, i.e. in a direction opposite ot the velocity and is taken to be -g. The magnitude of g is the same but the velocity of the object decreases due to -ve acceleration. The moon and the artificial satellites are moving only under the influence of the gravitational field of the earth. Thus they are in free fall. Which force acts on the stone when held in the hand?
