8. Why are objects that fall near Earth's surface rarely in free fall?

Gravity does not act on objects near Earth's surface.

Air exerts forces on falling objects near Earth's surface.

The objects do not reach terminal velocity.

The objects can be pushed upward by gravity.

    There is not enough time from the time the object falls from when it hits the ground to achieve terminal velocity. An object must be placed higher to achieve terminal velocity in order to be in free fall.
