Why are objects that fall near earths surface rarely in free fall?

"Free fall" means that gravity is the ONLY force acting on the object.  If there's air resistance, then it isn't free-fall.  

Objects that fall near earths surface are ALWAYS falling through air, unless they're inside some kind of a vacuum chamber with all the air removed from it.

When a hailstone is at a height of 2.00km it’s mass is 2.50g what is it’s potential energy?
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

EP = 49.05Joules (J)

Explanation:

The equation for Potential energy (EP) is

EP = m g h

We are given the values below (do convert them into SI units)

m = 0.0025kg

h = 2000m

g = 9.81m/s^{2}

Substitute the values into the equation and solve for EP

EP = 0.0025 * 2000 * 9.81

EP = 49.05Joules (J)
