Pulling a dogs leash: inertia
Answer:
Option (b) is correct.
Explanation:
The motion under the influence of gravity is called projectile motion.
The acceleration due to gravity is constant through out the motion and it is always acting downwards.
When an athlete jumps and follow the projectile path, it always have the same horizontal velocity as there is no acceleration in the horizontal direction.
Also he has the vertical acceleration constant which is equal to the acceleration due to gravity and acts towards the center of earth.
Option (b) is correct.
Answer: C
Explanation:
The acceleration does not depend directly on the mass of the object.
Newton's Law is Force = Mass x Acceleration.
Therefore, Acceleration = Force/Mass
The same force is applied in both cases.
Therefore acceleration is inversely proportional to mass.
As mass decreases, acceleration increases.
