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

Answer: (C)

$v=0$

Free fall is a motion of a body in which the only force acting of the body is the Gravitational Force. In this motion body moves with constant acceleration i.e acceleration due to gravity.

When an object is thrown downward from a non zero height say $h$ the motion is referred to as free fall with initial velocity of object beign zero. Hence $v=0$
