Understanding the Acceleration of Falling Objects and Free Fall Dynamics

This chapter explores the acceleration characteristics of falling objects, such as raindrops and free-falling apples, as they are affected by gravity. Key concepts include the implications of constant velocity, free fall conditions, and variations in speed over time. It clarifies how acceleration is consistently directed downward, remains constant during free fall, and explains the differences in behavior when air resistance is present. The chapter also features practical examples, such as the effects on a feather and a coin in a vacuum.

  1. Chapter 3B Linear Motion

  2. The acceleration of a raindrop that falls at constant velocity a. is zero. b. is directed downward. c. decreases over time. d. increases over time.

  3. The acceleration of a raindrop that falls at constant velocity a. is zero. b. is directed downward. c. decreases over time. d. increases over time.

  4. If a falling object gains 10 m/s each second it falls, its acceleration is a. 10 m/s. b. 10 m/s2. c. directed upward. d. steadily increasing.

  5. If a falling object gains 10 m/s each second it falls, its acceleration is a. 10 m/s. b. 10 m/s2. c. directed upward. d. steadily increasing.

  6. During each second of free fall, the speed of an object a. increases by the same amount. b. changes by increasing amounts each second. c. remains constant. d. doubles each second.

  7. During each second of free fall, the speed of an object a. increases by the same amount. b. changes by increasing amounts each second. c. remains constant. d. doubles each second. Free Fall means that the object is acted only only by gravity (no air resistance) so the acceleration is 10 m/s/s downward

  8. At the end of 1 second of free fall, an apple falling from rest has a speed of a. 1 m/s. b. 5 m/s. c. 10 m/s. d. more than 10 m/s.

  9. At the end of 1 second of free fall, an apple falling from rest has a speed of a. 1 m/s. b. 5 m/s. c. 10 m/s. d. more than 10 m/s.

  10. An object in free fall has a speed of 60 m/s. One second later its speed is a. 10 m/s. b. 30 m/s. c. 60 m/s. d. 70 m/s.

  11. An object in free fall has a speed of 60 m/s. One second later its speed is a. 10 m/s. b. 30 m/s. c. 60 m/s. d. 70 m/s.

  12. A free-falling object has a speed of 30 m/s at one instant. Exactly 1 second later its speed will be a. the same. b. 35 m/s. c. more than 35 m/s. d. 60 m/s.

  13. A free-falling object has a speed of 30 m/s at one instant. Exactly 1 second later its speed will be a. the same. b. 35 m/s. c. more than 35 m/s. d. 60 m/s.

  14. The speed of a vertically thrown ball at the top of its path is a. 0. b. 10 m/s2. c. between 0 and 10 m/s2. d. dependent on the mass of the ball.

  18. Which of these statements is true about the coin-and-feather experiment cited in your textbook? a. Air drag doesn’t act in a vacuum. b. Gravity doesn’t act in a vacuum. c. A feather and a coin will accelerate equally in air. d. A feather will accelerate more than a coin in a vacuum.
