Question

hich of the following is true of a free-falling body?a. It moves with non-uniform motionb. It has zero velocityc. It has constant non-zero accelerationd. It has non-uniform acceleration

Solution

The correct answer is c. It has constant non-zero acceleration.

Here's why:

a. It moves with non-uniform motion - This is incorrect. A free-falling body moves with uniform acceleration, not non-uniform motion.

b. It has zero velocity - This is incorrect. A free-falling body does not have zero velocity. Its velocity changes due to the acceleration caused by gravity.

c. It has constant non-zero acceleration - This is correct. A free-falling body experiences a constant acceleration due to gravity, which is approximately 9.8 m/s² on Earth.

d. It has non-uniform acceleration - This is incorrect. As mentioned earlier, a free-falling body experiences a constant (uniform) acceleration due to gravity.
