Answer:
Option b
Explanation:
An object is said to fall freely when there is no force acting on the object other than the gravitational force. Thus the acceleration of the object is solely due to gravity and no other acceleration acts on the body.
Also the initial velocity of the body in free fall is zero and hence less than the final velocity.
As the body falls down closer to earth, it experiences more gravitational pull and the velocity increases as it falls down and the moment it touches the ground the period of free fall ends at that instant.
Thus the final velocity of an object in free fall is not zero because the final velocity is the velocity before coming in contact with the ground.
I believe that if you touch a metal sphere with a plastic straw, the straw would not have enough strength to push it. So in that case, the metal sphere will not move and will stay in one place.

The mineral with Mohs hardness would be scratched because the mineral with Mohs 7 hardness is stronger than the Mohs 5 mineral. Eventually, that mineral would turn into dust if you kept rubbing it.
