Free fall gravity is the acceleration due to gravity acting on an object in the absence of any other forces. This means that an object will accelerate towards the Earth at a constant rate of 9.8 meters per second squared.
In regular gravity, an object may experience other forces besides the force of gravity, such as air resistance or friction. However, in free fall, the object is only acted upon by the force of gravity, resulting in a constant acceleration.
No, the mass of an object does not affect free fall gravity. All objects, regardless of their mass, will experience the same acceleration due to gravity in free fall.
The higher the altitude, the weaker the force of gravity. This means that an object in free fall will experience a slightly lower acceleration at higher altitudes compared to lower altitudes.
Yes, free fall gravity can be calculated using the formula: a = g, where "a" is the acceleration due to gravity and "g" is the gravitational constant, which is approximately equal to 9.8 m/s² on Earth.
