Answer from: bbbbhu

Acceleration is the ratio of a change in velocity to the time over which the change happend

Answer from: kcarstensen59070

Acceleration is just how fast velocity is changing in a certain time. Simply subtract the final velocity from initial velocity, then take that number and divide that by the change in time. If that sounds familiar, it's because it's the same formula you use to find the slope of a line. If you've done calculus, it's finding the secant line, which means you've found the average acceleration using the (change in v)/(change in t). If you need the instantaneous acceleration, you need to take the derivative of your function at a certain time(also calculus.) ignore the last two sentences if you haven't taken calc1

Answer from: Quest

air exerts forces on falling objects near earth’s surface.

explanation:

the term 'free falls' refer to object that are falling towards the earth, in a situation in which gravity is the only force acting on the object.

for an object in free fall, the acceleration is constant (g, the gravitational acceleration), and so the velocity of the object constantly increases.

for objects near earth's surface, there is always another force acting on the object: the resistance due to the air. this force is opposed to the direction of fall of the object, and it is proportional to the velocity of the object, so as the object falls down, this force increases up to a point when it balances the force of gravity, and the object continues its motion at constant velocity (called terminal velocity). since in this case gravity is not the only force acting on the object, we are not in a situation of free fall.
