Does gravity act on a freely falling 100 g steel ball? If it does, what is it equal to?

If the force of gravity did not act on the ball, then in accordance with Newton’s law, it would move uniformly and rectilinearly. In fact, it moves with the acceleration of gravity g, because the force of gravity acts on it:

Ft = mg = 0.1 kg * 9.8 m / s ^ 2 = 0.98 N.

Answer: 0.98 N.
