The answer to ur question is: B
Answer:
The correct answer is A.
Objects in free fall accelerate due to <u>gravity</u>.
Explanation:
Momentum can help an object to keep its state of motion at a constant velocity when no external force is applied. It can never accelerate the object.
According to the laws of motion, we know that acceleration is produced in a body only when a Force is applied in the direction of motion of body.
During a free fall, only the force of gravity is acting on an object and that too in the direction of its motion. Hence, the acceleration produced in a free falling object is due to gravity.
Answer:
(a) Projectile B will travel 4 times as far as projectile A prior to landing
Explanation:
Initial velocity = v
Angle at which the projectile is shot at = θ
g = Acceleration due to gravity
Range of a projectile is given by

When Initial velocity = v

When Initial velocity = 2v

Dividing the equtions, we get

Here, the angle at which the projectiles are fired at are equal.

Hence, projectile B will travel 4 times as far as projectile A prior to landing
