Question

For a body falling freely:

• A. velocity is maximum when it just reaches the ground
• B. velocity is maximum at the point of fall
• C. velocity is minimum when it just reaches ground
• D. velocity is constant throughout

Answer 1

The correct option is A velocity is maximum when it just reaches the ground

A freely falling body executes a uniformly accelerated motion. So its velocity keeps on increasing until it hits the ground and comes to rest.
As it just about to hit the ground, its velocity becomes maximum.
