Kinematics Question 101
Question: Assertion : A body falling freely may do so with constant velocity. Reason : The body falls freely, when acceleration of a body is equal to acceleration due to gravity.
Options:
A) If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
B) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
C) If assertion is true but reason is false.

Answer:
Correct Answer: E
Solution:
When a body falling freely, only gravitational force acts on it in vertically downward direction. Due to this downward acceleration the velocity of a body increases and will be maximum when the body touches the ground.
