A freely falling body exhibits which type of motion? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A freely falling body exhibits which type of motion?
A. Uniform acceleration
B. Uniform velocity
C. Zero acceleration
D. Non-uniform acceleration
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
A freely falling body falls under the sole influence of Earth's gravity (neglecting air resistance). Near the surface of the Earth, the acceleration due to gravity ('g') is constant (approximately 9.8 m/s²). Because the acceleration does not change during the fall, it is an example of uniform accelerated motion.

A bus travels the first 20 km at 40 km/h and the next 20 km at 60 km/h. Average speed is
A. 45 km/h
B. 48 km/h
C. 52 km/h
D. 50 km/h

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Time1 = 20/40=0.5 h, Time2=20/60=1/3 h. Total time=5/6 h. Total distance=40 km. Avg speed=40/(5/6)=48 km/h. Not arithmetic mean.

Question #3 Report Error
Assertion (A): Light year and astronomical unit both represent dimensions of length. Reason (R): Light year is the time taken by light to travel from the Sun to the Earth.
A. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
B. Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
C. A is false but R is true.
D. A is true but R is false.

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Assertion (A) is true because both light year and astronomical unit (AU) are units used to measure massive astronomical distances (lengths). Reason (R) is false because a light year is the distance light travels in a vacuum in one Earth year, not the time taken to travel from the Sun to Earth (which is about 8.3 minutes).
