Question

A freely falling object travels 4.9 m in 1st second, 14.7 m in 2 nd second, 24.5 m in 3rd second, and so on. This data shows that the motion of a freely falling object is a case of (a) uniform motion
(b) uniform acceleration
(c) no acceleration
(d) uniform velocity

Answer 1

Answer:

(a)Uniform acceleration

Answer 2

Answer:

(b) uniform acceleration

Explanation:

a freely falling body always shows change in speed due to gravity in negative direction of motion which means it would be moving with acceleration and we know that a freely falling body is an example of uniformly accelerated motion .
