Question

a body of masses is falling freely under gravity express the frictional force f what will be its acceleration before and after the force of friction acts on it. do they depend upon mass of the body

Open in App
Solution

when body falls freely then acceleration is due to gravity which is g.When frictiona force act on the body in upward direction which is given by:f = mawhere m is the mass of the body and a is the acceleration due to friction.net acceleration= g-fmyes this acceleration depends on the mass of the body.
