\nAcceleration is constant all throughout the free fall.
\n<\/section>\n
\nAn object falling freely under the influence of gravity experiences a constant acceleration equal to the acceleration due to gravity (g), assuming air resistance is negligible. This acceleration acts downwards.
\n<\/section>\n
\nZero acceleration implies constant velocity, not necessarily zero velocity (A is incorrect). Zero acceleration means there is no net force acting on the object; velocity could be constant and non-zero (B is incorrect). An object thrown upwards momentarily has zero velocity at its peak, but the acceleration due to gravity is still acting on it at that instant (C is incorrect).
