Motion of a Falling Body problem 12


Are the following free fall statements correct?

  • In a free fall, the body falls at a constant speed.

  • With a free fall, the acceleration does not depend on body weight.

  • When calculating the free fall velocity, we must take into account the air resistance.

  • The free fall acceleration is the same everywhere on Earth.

  • The body falls on the Moon more slowly than on Earth.

  • When the lunar module lands on the Moon, we can brake with a parachute.

  • Gravitational acceleration decreases with height above the earth's crust.

  • The free fall acceleration is a physical constant.
