Describe the motion of an object falling freely with uniform acceleration?
A freely falling object travels 4.9 m in 1st second, 14.7 m in 2nd 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
Give reasons:
(1) Distance and displacement are different concepts.
(2) An object at rest can be considered to have uniform motion.
(3) When a body falls freely to the ground, its motion has an uniform acceleration.
Why does a freely falling object has non-uniform motion.
