Free fall describes any motion of a body where gravity is the only or dominant force acting upon it, at least initially. Although strictly the definition excludes motion of an object subjected to other forces such as aerodynamic drag, in nontechnical usage falling through an atmosphere without a deployed parachute or lifting device is also referred to as free fall.
