Write a short note.
Free Fall
Advertisements
उत्तर
- The motion of any object under the influence of the force of gravity alone is called free fall.
- In free fall, the initial velocity of the object is zero and goes on increasing due to the acceleration due to gravity of the earth.
- During free fall, the frictional force due to air opposes the motion of the object and a buoyant force also acts on the object.
- Thus, true free fall is possible only in a vacuum.
