If a stone is dropped from a height, its velocity just before hitting the ground depends on:
A
Mass only
B
Mass and height
C
Air resistance only
D
Height only
Correct Answer: Option D — Height only
Explanation:
Ignoring air resistance, the final velocity of a freely falling object depends solely on the height from which it falls and gravitational ac...
Ignoring air resistance, the final velocity of a freely falling object depends solely on the height from which it falls and gravitational acceleration, since mass cancels out in the equations of free fall.
