Free fall occurs whenever all the local objects are accelerating together with nothing obstructing the force of gravity (you can approximate this in an elevator or an aeroplane or even by jumping off a diving board.
Micro gravity is a relative term used to describe the gravitational force around small objects - say a comet ... or even a space station.

TaigaFree fall is the state in which an object is only influenced by gravity, falling with no other forces acting on it. Microgravity, on the other hand, refers to a condition in which objects experience very weak gravitational forces, such as those found in orbit around Earth or in space. In free fall, objects experience normal gravitational forces, while in microgravity, objects experience a very weak gravitational force that results in apparent weightlessness.

How does gravity affect weight mass microgravity and free fall?
Gravity is the force that pulls objects towards each other; weight is the measure of the gravitational force acting on an object’s mass. In space or during free fall, objects experience microgravity, where they appear weightless because they are in a state of continuous free fall. However, the mass of the object remains the same regardless of the gravitational force affecting it.
How is gravity related to free fall?
Gravity is the force that causes objects to accelerate towards the Earth. In free fall, an object is only influenced by gravity, causing it to accelerate downward at a constant rate of 9.8 m/s². This acceleration due to gravity is what defines free fall as an object falls under the influence of gravity without any other forces acting on it.
When nothing but gravity is affecting the fall of an obeject it is said to be in?
A Vaccum Also called free-fall.
A ball just dropped is an example of?
An example of free fall due to gravity.
What is motion that is under the influence of gravity alone called?
Motion under the influence of gravity alone is called free fall. In free fall, an object is only acted upon by the force of gravity, causing it to accelerate towards the Earth at a constant rate.
