Ah. So my problem is oversimplification and gravity. Bear with me, I'm almost onboard.
free fall - when the only force acting on an object is gravity.
gravity - an object's weight is a measurement of the force of gravity on that object.
A=F/M
So gravity is my F. The object's mass is...
This question may be a bit too basic for you all, but I'm trying to help my 8th grader with his homework. I have come across the following quandry.
From his science book [Prentice Hall Science Explorer Physical Science (Virginia)]
pg 326 "... all objects in free fall accelerate at the...
