How about "free fall gravity" for 1, and "Newtonian gravitation" for 2 ?

The first part doesn't do it for me.

In particular, the crucial feature of the conventional terrestrial
lab frame is that it is *not* a freely-falling frame. Indeed, any
nontrivial application of F=mg requires a non-freely-falling frame.
