Question

\free fall\ is the condition in which
the motion of a body is
due to gravity alone,
when air resistance is
maximized
the motion of a body is
due to gravity alone,
when air resistance is
negligible.
the motion of a body is
due to gravity alone,
when air resistance is
applicable.
the motion of a body is
due to velocity alone,
when air resistance is
negligible.

Explanation:

Free fall is defined as the motion of a body where the only force acting on it is gravity, and air resistance is considered negligible (since in real - world scenarios, we often idealize free fall by ignoring air resistance for simplicity).

• The green option says air resistance is maximized, which is incorrect as free fall assumes minimal or no air resistance.
• The orange option says air resistance is applicable, which goes against the definition of free fall (where air resistance is negligible or ignored).
• The cyan option says motion is due to velocity alone, which is wrong as free fall is about motion due to gravity.
• The blue option states that the motion of a body is due to gravity alone, when air resistance is negligible, which matches the definition of free fall.

Answer:

B. the motion of a body is due to gravity alone, when air resistance is negligible.
