A free-falling object is an object moving under the effect of gravitational forces alone
The correct option to select for the True or False question is False
The reason the above selected option is correct is as follows:
According to Newton's second law of motion, we have;
Force = Mass × Acceleration
The force of gravity is 
Where;

m = The mass of the object
∴ The force acting on an object in free fall,
= m × g
Therefore the acceleration of an object in free fall is the constant acceleration due to gravity, and it therefore, does not change with time
The correct option for the question, acceleration of a free-falling object in a frictionless environment increases as a function of time is <u>False</u>

We need to be careful here.
The calculation of the gravitational force between two objects
refers to the distance between their centers.
The minimum possible distance between the Earth's and moon's
centers is the sum of their radii (radiuses).
Earth's radius . . . . . 6,360 km = 6.36 x 10⁶ meters
Moon's radius . . . . . 1,738 km = 1.738 x 10⁶ meters
Sum of their radii = 8.098 x 10⁶ meters
Also:
Earth's mass . . . . . 5.972 x 10²⁴ kg
Moon's mass . . . . . 7.348 x 10²² kg
<span>
and now we're ready to go !
Gravitational force =
G M₁ M₂ / R²
= (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N-m²/kg²)(</span><span>5.972 x 10²⁴ kg)(7.348 x 10²² kg)/</span>(8.098 x 10⁶ m)²
= (6.67 · 5.972 · 7.348 / 8.098²) · (10²³) Newtons
= (I get ...) 4.463 x 10²³ Newtons
That's almost exactly 10²³ pounds
= 50,153,000,000,000,000,000 tons.
Those are big numbers.
All I can say is: I wouldn't exactly call that "resting" on the surface".
Answer: Hello!
Lewis is travelling at 165 mph, which means miles per hour, this says that he does 165 miles in one hour.
We want to know how much time takes to cover 16 miles.
this can be calculated as the quotient of the distance and the velocity; this is:

if we want to write this in minutes, then:
we know that one hour has 60 minutes, then 0.096 hours has:
0.096h*60mins/1h = 5.8 minutes.
then Lewis needs 5.8 minutes in order to cover 16 miles if his speed is 156 miles per hour.
