The motion of a freely falling body is an example of uniformly accelerated motion. In physics, a freely falling body is one that is falling under the sole influence of gravity. This results in a constant acceleration directed downward. The acceleration due to gravity, commonly denoted as \( g \), is approximately \( 9.81 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) on the surface of the Earth. In uniformly accelerated motion, the acceleration remains constant throughout the movement. Thus, a freely falling body experiences a uniform acceleration (i.e., the acceleration due to gravity), making it an example of uniformly accelerated motion.
