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

The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
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 \(9.
8\, \text{m/s}^2\).

- Given below are two statements: Statement I: A satellite is moving around earth in an orbit very close to the earth surface. The time period of revolution of satellite depends upon the density of earth.
Statement II: The time period of revolution of the satellite is \[ T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{R_e}{g}} \] (for satellite very close to the earth surface), where \(R_e\) is the radius of earth and \(g\) is acceleration due to gravity.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.- JEE Main - 2026

Net gravitational force at the center of a square is found to be \( F_1 \) when four particles having masses \( M, 2M, 3M \) and \( 4M \) are placed at the four corners of the square as shown in figure, and it is \( F_2 \) when the positions of \( 3M \) and \( 4M \) are interchanged. The ratio \( \dfrac{F_1}{F_2} = \dfrac{\alpha}{\sqrt{5}} \). The value of \( \alpha \) is
