Answer;

B. constant acceleration.

Step-by-step explanation;

  • Free fall is the type of motion of a body or an object when only gravity is acting on it.
  • All objects undergo free fall on the earth surface at the same rate irrespective of their mass. This is because the gravitational field on the surface of the earth 9.8 N/kg, causes and acceleration equivalent to 9.8 m/s/s of any object in free fall motion.
  • Therefore, the acceleration of any freely falling object near the surface of the earth is 9.8 m/s².
