Question

An apple falls freely from an apple tree towards the ground which of the following graph represents the relationship between speed and time of apple during its motion

Answer 1

Hello Dear,

You didn't provide any options to select from.

● Freely falling body -

• Gravitational acceleration is acting on objects falling down under the effect of gravity.
• Thus, speed of the object uniformly increases in downward direction (negative axis).
• Hence, speed-time graph of freely falling body is a straight line with negative slope (-9.8 m/s²).

[Refer to the image for speed-time graph of freely-falling apple.]

Hope this helped you.

Answer 2

Answer:

A speed-time graph can show the relationship between the speed and time of the apple during its motion. The apple will initially have a small velocity but as it starts descending, its velocity will increase substantially because free falling acceleration will act on it at the rate of 9.8 meters per second square. Due to it, there will be a small slope at the beginning that will increase substantially and there will be a large slope at its end.
