Questions and Answers

In Newtonian physics, free fall is a motion where the only force acting upon a body is:

  • Buoyant force
  • Friction
  • Gravity (correct)
  • Magnetic force
  • In the context of general relativity, a body in free fall experiences:

  • A downward force
  • No force acting on it (correct)
  • A constant upward force
  • A force parallel to its motion
  • An object moving upwards subject only to the force of gravity is said to be in free fall due to:

  • Negligible gravitational force
  • Being subject to only the force of gravity (correct)
  • Increased gravitational force
  • Equal and opposite force
  • The sensation of weightlessness occurs when there are no other forces acting, such as the normal force exerted between a body and its surroundings, in a:
