What is the acceleration of free fall?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Free Fall**: - Free fall occurs when an object is falling towards the Earth under the influence of gravity alone, with no other forces acting on it (like air resistance). 2. **Defining Acceleration of Free Fall**: - The acceleration experienced by an object in free fall is due to the gravitational force exerted by the Earth. This acceleration is commonly denoted as \( g \). ...
