The state that exists when the only force acting on an object is gravity is called "free fall."

Free fall refers to the motion of an object under the sole influence of gravity, with no other significant forces acting upon it. In this state, the object is typically accelerating downward due to the force of gravity. Examples of free fall include a dropped object or an object falling from a height without any other forces, such as air resistance, affecting its motion.

Option A, "free fall," is the correct answer because it accurately describes the state when gravity is the only force acting on an object.

Option B, "inertia," is not the correct answer. Inertia refers to an object's res...
