Question

Based on what you know about falling objects, select all of the correct statements from the following list. (Ignore the effects of air resistance.)

a. The speed of a falling object depends on its weight.

b. Objects tend to slow down naturally unless propelled by a force.

c. According to tradition, Galileo dropped objects of different mass from the leaning tower of Pisa.

d. Inertia is an object's tendency to resist changes in its motion.

e. The speed of falling objects increases at a constant rate.

f. The acceleration due to gravity near Earth's surface is 9.8 m/s².

g. Galileo's experiments yielded similar results to Aristotle's theories about motion.

Answer 1

a.

False

speed of falling object is independent of its mass or weight.

b)

False

an object can not slow down or accelerate without an external net force acting on it as per newton's first law.

c)

Correct

d)

Corrent

e)

correct

since for falling object , constant acceleration due to gravity acts.

f)

correct

g)

False
