Answer:

Explanation:

When a projectile is launched at some angle to the horizontal with some speed vi , and air resistance is negligible , it is definitely a freely falling body .

It is so because it is free to accelerate towards the earth with acceleration of g . Air has no resistance , hence no force is acting on it except the gravitational force . Hence it is a freely falling body .

b )

The acceleration in the vertical direction is due to force exerted by the earth that is gravitational force on it  . Hence its  acceleration is equal to g in vertically downward direction .

c )

It has zero acceleration in horizontal direction . It is so because no force is acting on it in horizontal direction . So no acceleration will be present in horizontal direction . It will move in horizontal direction with constant speed of vi cos θ where θ is the angle vi make with the horizontal .

What is the relationship between the mass of the objects and the force exerted?
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

Objects with mass exert forces on each other via the force of gravity. This force is proportional to the mass of the two interacting objects, and is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The factors G, M, and r are the same for all masses at the surface of the Earth.
