The motion of ______ body is an example of uniformly accelerated motion. |
resting Decelerating parabolic freely falling |
freely falling |
The correct answer is option 4. freely falling. The motion of a Freely falling body is an example of uniformly accelerated motion. When an object is freely falling under the influence of gravity (in a vacuum or with negligible air resistance), it experiences uniformly accelerated motion. This means its velocity changes by the same amount in each successive equal time interval. In the absence of other forces, such as air resistance, all objects near the surface of the Earth accelerate downward at a constant rate due to gravity (approximately 9.8 m/s²), leading to uniformly accelerated motion. |
