Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
An object falling solely due to gravity is said to be in free fall. Any object that is only subject to the effects of gravity is said to be in free fall. Two crucial aspects of an object's motion are present when it is falling freely:
First, air resistance does not exist for falling objects in free fall.
On earth, all falling objects experience a downward acceleration of 9.8 m/s2.
The formula, g=R2GM, where G is the universal gravitational constant, g describes the acceleration brought on by gravity on any planet of mass "M" and radius "R". In other words, the value of "g" is dependent on the mass of the earth but independent of the mass of the body.
