A "free fall" is when something accelerates due to gravity, without any resistance. Think of it like diving from a high place, only relying on gravity to speed you up. 🚀 In physics, it assumes no air resistance, which isn't quite real-world. Figuratively, 'free fall' can describe a rapid decline, like a stock market crash or your grades plummeting after binging a new series instead of studying. It implies a swift and uncontrolled descent. Imagine a rollercoaster's initial drop – that's a mini free fall!
