Free fall - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Free fall - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

 "Free fall is any motion of a body where its weight is the only force acting upon it. These conditions produce an inertial trajectory so long as gravity remains the only force. Since this definition does not specify velocity, it also applies to objects initially moving upward. Since free fall in the absence of forces other than gravity produces weightlessness or "zero-g," sometimes any condition of weightlessness due to inertial motion is referred to as free-fall. This may also apply to weightlessness produced because the body is far from a gravitating body."
