Question

State whether true or false.

The weight of a freely falling body from a very large height is always constant.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Weight of a body $w=mg$

Now $g=\frac{GM}{r^2}$

As a body is freely falling, its r decreases and in turn g increases.

So weight increases for a freely falling body and isn't constant.
