Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If an object is in free fall, what is the net force acting on it?
  • Free Fall – An object in free fall is only influenced by the force of gravity, with no other forces acting on it.
  • Net Force – The net force is the vector sum of all forces acting on an object; in free fall, this is equal to the weight of the object.
