Question

An object is in free fall Group of answer choices Anytime it has an acceleration equal to 9.8 m/s/s Anytime it feels the force of gravity Only if the weight is the only force acting on the object Only when it's moving vertically down

Answer 1

Answer:

Anytime it feels the force of gravity.

Explanation:

Gravity is considered to be a universal force of attraction which acts between all objects that has both mass, energy and can occupy space. Therefore, it acts in such a way as to bring objects together i.e causing the objects to fall down towards the Earth.

This ultimately implies that, an object is in free fall anytime it feels the force of gravity i.e regardless of how fast the object moves or the direction it moves, the only force acting on the object is the force of gravity (g).

For example, when you throw any object up, it will naturally fall down due to the gravitational force between the Earth and the object.

Additionally, the gravity of earth makes it possible for all physical objects to possess weight.

On planet Earth, the acceleration due to gravity that all physical objects experience is 9.8 meters per seconds square.
