I have a little doubt to get cleared.
Gravity of the Earth causes an acceleration of 9.8 m/s2 which increases the velocity of a body at free fall.
So for a very massive body like a black hole FOR INSTANCE, the acceleration due to gravity on a body will be very high, right? So if a body falls into it from a specific distance with an initial velocity u, couldn't it accelerate to the speed of light? or a velocity 99.9% of the speed of light?
Please forgive me if it doesn't make any sense
