At a particular height, the velocity of an ascending body is \(\mathbf{u}\). The velocity at the same height while the body falls freely is

  1. A \(2 \mathbf{u}\)
  2. B \(-\mathbf{u}\)
  3. C \(\mathbf{u}\)
  4. D \(-2 \mathbf{u}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(-\mathbf{u}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given that velocity of ascending body = u Let there is no air resistance when body falls freely in downward direction, the direction of falling body will opposite to the ascending body. \(\therefore\) The velocily at the same height while the body falls freely \(=-u\)
