Multiple Choice Questions on Free Fall: 

• Free fall acceleration is the acceleration that all bodies acquire in free fall near the surface of the Earth, regardless of their mass. 
• Denoted by the letter g. 
• The free-fall acceleration on Earth is approximately equal to g = 9.81 m/s2. 
• Free fall is uniformly accelerated motion.
• The acceleration of free fall in a simplified form can be calculated by the formula g u003d F m, which is obtained from the formula F u003d m ⋅ g, where F is the force of gravity or the weight of the body at rest or uniform rectilinear motion, m is the mass of the body that the planet attracts, g is the free-fall acceleration.
• Experiments showed that the speed and acceleration of free fall of bodies to the ground depend on the mass of the body – a body of greater mass (and weight) has a greater acceleration than a body of less mass
