Brief Explanations
Near the surface of the Earth, when an object is in free - fall, the only significant force acting on it is the gravitational force. According to Newton's second law and the law of universal gravitation, the acceleration due to gravity \(g\) is approximately constant (\(g\approx9.8\ m/s^{2}\) near the Earth's surface) and is not affected by the object's motion (going up or coming down).
