Answer:

An item is in a state of free fall when it is unimpeded by any friction, air resistance, or other forces, and only descends as a result of gravity. The gravitational force (also known as the force owing to gravity) is the only force acting on the item during free fall. EXAMPLE ; for instance, are falling freely in the Sun's gravitational field.
