1. The acceleration experienced by objects falling towards the Earth is due to gravity and is denoted by the symbol "g". Near the Earth's surface, this acceleration is approximately 9.8 meters per second squared (m/s^2).

  2. The change in velocity during free fall is caused by the acceleration due to gravity, which pulls objects downward toward the Earth's surface. This acceleration, denoted as "g", causes the velocity of the falling object to increase over time.

  4. Free fall refers to the motion of an object falling under the influence of gravity without experiencing any other significant forces, such as air resistance. During free fall, the only force acting on the object is gravity, causing it to accelerate downward at a constant rate.
