A student drops a table-tennis ball in air. What happens to the velocity and to the acceleration of the ball during the first few seconds after release?
Correct answer: C. Option C
- A. Option A
- B. Option B
- C. Option C
- D. Option D
Explanation
When student drops a table tennis ball in air, then its speed increases due to force of gravity but acceleration due to gravity remains same (g = 9.8 ms-2).

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.
