Question
What is the direction of the force acting on a body undergoing a free fall?
- Vertically upward, away from the center of the earth
- Tangentially left
- Tangentially right
- Vertically downward, towards the center of the earth
Hint:
The direction of force is the direction in which the body is pushed or pulled.
The correct answer is: Vertically downward, towards the center of the earth
- In Newtonian physics, free fall is any motion of a body where gravity is the only force acting upon it.
- It acts vertically downward, towards the center of the Earth.
