Question

Which is a constant for a freely falling object?

• A. displacement
• B. velocity
• C. acceleration
• D. speed

Hint:

For a freely falling object, acceleration remains constant at \(9.8\, \text{m/s}^2\), while displacement, velocity, and speed continuously change.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

In free fall, the only force acting on the object is gravity, which causes a constant acceleration towards the Earth.
This acceleration is called acceleration due to gravity, denoted by \(g\), and its standard value near the Earth's surface is approximately \(9.
8\, \text{m/s}^2\).
