According to Newton's second law of motion: objects at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by an outside force the greater the magnitude of the force, the faster the acceleration mass has an inverse relationship with acceleration every action has an equal and opposite reaction acceleration is caused by unbalanced forces

air exerts forces on falling objects near earth’s surface.

explanation:

the term 'free falls' refer to object that are falling towards the earth, in a situation in which gravity is the only force acting on the object.

for an object in free fall, the acceleration is constant (g, the gravitational acceleration), and so the velocity of the object constantly increases.

for objects near earth's surface, there is always another force acting on the object: the resistance due to the air. this force is opposed to the direction of fall of the object, and it is proportional to the velocity of the object, so as the object falls down, this force increases up to a point when it balances the force of gravity, and the object continues its motion at constant velocity (called terminal velocity). since in this case gravity is not the only force acting on the object, we are not in a situation of free fall.

you get 2.3=1.21*\frac{a}2 or 4.6=1.21a or a=3.802 (b)
