The rate at which velocity changes.

• velocity

• position

• acceleration

• free fall

The movement of an object toward Earth solely because of gravity

Acceleration near Earth's surface is

• 9.8 m/s²

• unknown

• dependent on the weight of the object

• dependent on the height the object falls from
