Question

A paint brush is dropped from the top of a tall ladder and free falls to the ground. What changes, if any, would be observed of the velocity and the acceleration of the brush as it falls? Pick the two answers. The velocity increases. The velocity decreases. The velocity remains a constant value. The acceleration increases. The acceleration decreases. The acceleration remains a constant value.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

As the paint brush is dropped from the top of a tall ladder it started free falling

i.e. velocity of brush increases as it falls down due to the acceleration provided by gravity.

We know acceleration due to gravity is the attraction experienced by the object due to earth attraction

Value of acceleration due to gravity is constant i.e. $9.8\ m/s^2$

Therefore the correct choice is

velocity is increasing and acceleration is constant
