Question

For a freely falling body the initial velocity is given by

• A. $v=v^2+2gh$
• B. $v=g{t}^2$
• C. $v=0$
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is C

$v=0$

Explanation for the correct option:

Option C:

1. During a free fall, only the gravitational force acts on a body.
2. The initial velocity of the body is zero during free fall.
3. Hence, this is the correct option.

Explanation for the incorrect options:

Option A:

1. The initial velocity of the body is zero during free fall.
2. Hence, this is not the correct option.

Option B:

1. The initial velocity of the body is zero during free fall.
2. Hence, this is not the correct option.

Option D:

1. As Option C is the correct option, this cannot be the correct option.

Hence, option C is the correct option.
