a sudden sharp decrease in some quantity; "a drop of 57 points on the Dow Jones index"; "there was a drop in pressure in the pulmonary artery"; "a dip in prices"; "when that became known the price of their stock went into free fall"
falling without resistance, and thereby undergoing an downward acceleration of 32 feet per second per second. That is, with each passing second, the object will fall through a distance 32 feet greater than in the previous second. Building 7 entirely collapsed in under a second less than the free-fall speed of an object dropped from the height of its roof.
Falling in a gravitational field where the acceleration is the same as that due to gravity alone.: The universal gravitational constant (6.67x10-11 Nm/kg): The acceleration Earth's gravitational field exerts on objects at Earth's surface. (9.8 m/sec)
Free fall is a state that occurs while in orbit around a planet. In free fall, things appear to weightless. During free fall, the orbiting object falls toward the planet the exact same amount as the planet's surface curves beneath the object; the object seems to be continually falling toward the planet but never reaches it.
Free Fall is a studio album by the jazz fusion band Dixie Dregs, released in 1977.
