Question

Assertion : A body falling freely may do so with constant velocity. Reason : The body falls freely, when acceleration of a body is equal to acceleration due to gravity.

Answer 1

Answer:

When a body falling freely, only gravitational force acts on it in vertically downward direction. Due to this downward acceleration the velocity of a body increases and will be maximum when the body touches the ground.

Answer 2

$\Large{\underline{\underline{\bf{Solution :}}}}$

★ Assertion : A body falling freely may do so with constant velocity.

★ Reason : The body falls freely, when acceleration of a body is equal to acceleration due to gravity.

$\rule{150}{2}$

Both Asseration and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.

$\rule{200}{2}$

★ Additional Information

• When a body starts from rest it's initial velocity is zero.
• When body came in motion to rest then it's final velocity is zero.
• Value of acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 $\sf{ms^{-1}}$
