Question

2) When a body is dropped from a tower, then is an increase in its (a) mass (b) velocity (c) acceleration (d) potential energy​

Answer 1

Answer:

velocity

Explanation:

velocity iincreases when an object drops .

Answer 2

When a body is dropped from a tower, then there is an increase in its velocity.

Thus, the correct option is (b).

Explanation:

• The mass of an object remains constant at all places throughout the universe.
• The potential energy increases when an increase in the height of the object.
• If an object is freely falling, the acceleration due to gravity acts on it. Its value is $\[9.8m/{s^2}\]$. Therefore, it is also not increased.
• When the body is initially at the top of the tower, its velocity is zero. As it falls from the tower, the velocity gradually increases due to the gravitational force that acts on it.
• Thus, the velocity of the body increases when it is dropped from the tower.
