What do you mean by the term free fall? 

Solution

When the objects fall towards the Earth solely under the effect of gravitational force, the fall is known as free fall. The effect of air resistance is neglected in these cases. 

E.g., The motion of a small heavy body in air, may be taken as a free fall as the resistance of air on it is very small.
