    When only the force of gravity acts on an object,

    the situation is called "free fall".

    The motion is uniformly accelerated. The object falls

    straight toward the center of the other object in whose

    gravity it shares, and its speed increases at a constant

    rate.

    When this happens on or near the surface of the Earth,

    the rate is (9.8 meters per second greater) for each

    second of falling.

    True free-fall is never observed in daily life. Whenever

    we see an object falling, it is always falling through air,

    which counteracts the force of gravity to a greater or

    lesser degree, depending on the object's size, shape,

    weight, surface texture, and speed through the air.
