Question

What type of motion, uniform or non-uniform, is exhibited by a freely falling body? Give reason for your answer.

Answer 1

The motion exhibited by a freely falling body is non-uniform.

When a body falls freely, it starts from rest. When it falls down, the velocity increases as it reaches close to the ground. So, the motion exhibited by a freely falling body is non-uniform in nature. Because, the velocity of the body is not constant throughout the motion, instead it changes continuously.
