A stone is dropped from a cliff. The graph (carefully note the axes) which has represents its motion while it falls is:
Correct answer: C. Option C
- A. Option A
- B. Option B
- C. Option C
- D. Option D
Explanation
As stone is moving with constant acceleration (gravitational acceleration). As the slope of graph (C) is constant. So, stone moves with constant acceleration.

About Force and Motion
Displacement, velocity and acceleration describe motion, including the horizontal and vertical components of projectile motion. The chapter connects these quantities with Newton's laws, momentum and impulse, then applies conservation of momentum to collisions, distinguishing elastic collisions from inelastic ones.
