A) Falling objects accelerate as they approach the ground.

True

Reason : as the falling object approach the ground, acceleration due to gravity in down direction acts on it and accelerate it.

B) The weight of an object increases as it moves away from the ground.

False

Reason : As the object moves away from the ground, acceleration due to gravity acting on the object decreases. since the weight directly depends on the acceleration due to gravity, hence the weight decreases too.

C) Lighter objects experience a lower acceleration than heavier objects.

False

Reason : Since acceleration due to gravity is independent of the mass.

D) The mass of an object increases as it moves closer to the ground.

False

Reason : Since mass of an object is independent of the acceleration due to gravity.

Option (a) is correct.

Falling objects accelerate as they approach the ground.This is because of the force of gravity acting on the falling objects. so the velocity of these objects increases continuously as they approach the ground. the acceleration acting on the falling objects is a constant ( close to the surface of earth) and is called as acceleration due to gravity denoted by g. value of g=9.8 m/s².

Answer:

If we use the equation for the transformation of velocities for moving frames:

v' = (v - u) / (1 - u * v / c^2) where we measure the speed of v' approaching from the left where v is in a frame moving at -u towards v'

v' = (.6 c - (-.6 c)) / (1 - (-.6 c) * .6 c / c^2) = 1.2 c / (1 + .6 * .6)

or v' = 1.2 c / (1 + .36) = .88 c

v is approaching from the left at .6 c in the reference frame and the other frame approaches from the right at -.6 c with speed u  (-.6 c) and we measure the speed of v as seen in the frame moving to the left
