Explanation / Answer

Purpose :To study the object's motion under the influence of gravity. In Newtonian physics, free fall is any motion of a body where gravity is the only force acting upon it.

Introduction :

Consider a object falling from some height and only gravitational foece acts on it. Then we can say that this object is in free fall motion. An object in the technical sense of the term "free fall" may not necessarily be falling down in the usual sense of the term. An object moving upwards would not normally be considered to be falling, but if it is subject to the force of gravity only, it is said to be in free fall. The moon is thus in free fall.

Procedure :

Take an object at some height h. Leave it at this height h. Only gravity acts on it. This condition is called free fall condition. At free fall condition no other forces except the gravitational force acts on it. This condition is also known as weightlessness.

Conclusion:

From above dicussion, it is concluded that, when object is in free fall condition only gravitational force acts on it.

The kinematical equation in free fall is

v = u - gt, s = ut -1/2(-9.8)t2 and v2-u2 = -19.6s Here s is displacement.
