Objects fall towards the Earth due to the gravitational force exerted by the Earth, which attracts objects towards its center, causing them to accelerate downward.
Objects fall towards the Earth due to the gravitational force exerted by the Earth, which attracts objects towards its center, causing them to accelerate downward.
The weight of an object is the force exerted on it due to gravity. It is calculated as the product of the object's mass and the acceleration due to gravity, expressed as weight = mass × g.
The weight of an object is the force exerted on it due to gravity. It is calculated as the product of the object’s mass and the acceleration due to gravity, expressed as weight = mass × g.
The motion of objects that fall towards the Earth under the influence of gravity alone is called "free fall." During free fall, the only force acting on the object is gravity.

No, the mass of an object remains constant regardless of its location (Earth, Moon, or outer space). Mass is an intrinsic property of matter, unlike weight, which varies with gravitational force.

If a stone has a mass m and falls under gravity, what force acts on it?
The force acting on the stone with mass m as it falls under gravity is the gravitational force, F = mg, where g is the acceleration due to gravity.
