Approximately, yes. But detailed analysis would require you to take account of its aerodynamic properties, of any rotational motion as it falls, etc.

Which type of motion is exhibited by a freely falling body?

A freely falling body exhibits uniform acceleration motion due to the force of gravity acting on it. This means that the body's speed increases by the same amount every second as it falls towards the Earth.


What is constant for freely falling body?

The acceleration due to gravity is constant for a freely falling body. This means that the object will experience a constant acceleration of 9.81 m/s^2 (on Earth) in the downward direction, regardless of its mass. This allows us to predict the motion of the object using equations of motion.


What changes in a freely falling body?

In a freely falling body, its velocity increases due to the acceleration caused by gravity. The acceleration is constant (9.8 m/s^2 on Earth), and the body's motion is only affected by gravity, not air resistance. The body's position changes continuously as it falls towards the ground.


How could the uniformly accelerated motion be modified to study the acceleration of a freely-falling body?

At short distances - up to a few kilometers - gravity can be considered constant, and therefore, a body in free fall (i.e., neglecting other forces, such as air resistance) will be uniformly accelerated. Over longer distances, the force of gravity is no longer the same; this will have to be considered for the "modification" (for example, less force = less acceleration). Close to the Earth's surface, in practice, air resistance has to be considered (but this is no longer "free fall").


What is the motion of a freely faling body?

A freely falling body undergoes uniform acceleration due to gravity, moving in a straight line towards the Earth's center. The acceleration experienced by the body is approximately 9.8 m/s^2 near the Earth's surface.

What is the example where acceleration is in the direction of non-uniform motion?

Freely falling body is a good example


When a body falls freelyto the ground its motion has uniform motion?

No. "Uniform motion" means motion at a constant speed in a straight line. But the speed of a body falling freely to the ground is continuously increasing, in response to the force of gravity.

What is it called when the motion of a body when only gravity is acting on the body?

You're probably thinking of the term 'free-fall' or 'freely falling', or in relativity you might say it follows a 'geodesic'.


Weight of a freely falling body?

If the 'weight' of a body is the gravitational force between the body and the Earth, then as long as the body stays at about the same distance from the center of the Earth, its weight is constant, and has no connection with its motion.


The sumof the kinetic and potential energies of a freely falling body is?

The sum of the kinetic and potential energies of a freely falling body is constant and equal to the total mechanical energy. This is a result of the conservation of energy principle, where the body's potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as it falls, keeping the total energy constant.
