Description: Free fall occurs when gravity is the only force acting on a body. In that case, all objects accelerate downward at the same rate regardless of mass. Near Earth's surface, the acceleration due to free fall is nearly constant, varying only slightly with latitude and altitude. Air resistance, however, opposes this motion: as a body moves through air, it pushes the air aside and the air pushes back.
