A freely falling body is an object that is falling under the influence of gravity, with no other forces acting on it except for air resistance.
The acceleration of a freely falling body is always -9.8 m/s^2, regardless of the mass of the object. This is due to the force of gravity pulling the object towards the center of the Earth.
The mass of a freely falling body does not affect its motion. According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it, and inversely proportional to its mass. In the case of a freely falling body, the net force is only due to gravity, so the mass does not have an effect on the acceleration.
Yes, there is a maximum speed for a freely falling body, known as terminal velocity. As an object falls, it accelerates due to gravity, but as it gains speed, the force of air resistance also increases, until it balances out the force of gravity. At this point, the object reaches a constant speed and stops accelerating.
The distance traveled by a freely falling body can be calculated using the equation d = 1/2 * g * t^2, where d is the distance, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and t is the time. This equation assumes that the object starts from rest. If the object has an initial velocity, it can be incorporated into the equation as well.
