the force of gravity is present.
acceleration=forcegravity/massball
acceleration=forcegravity/massball

In free fall, the ball experiences a constant acceleration due to gravity (in fact Agrav∝altitude, but this effect is negligible if the ball is dropped from less than a couple of kilometres).
Therefore, if the Earth had no atmosphere, the ball would continue to accelerate constantly, therefore yes, its speed would increase continuously.
