AI Generated Solution

To solve the question "For a freely falling body, its acceleration ________ as it falls," we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Free Fall**: A freely falling body is one that is only influenced by the force of gravity, with no other forces acting on it (like air resistance). 2. **Identifying the Force**: The only force acting on the body during free fall is the gravitational force (Fg). This force can be expressed using Newton's law of universal gravitation: \[ ...
