Question

whats the only force on a free-falling body? answer options: select one of four friction a push from being thrown tension gravity

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

A free - falling body is an object that is falling under the sole influence of gravity (in the ideal case, ignoring air resistance). Friction is a force that opposes motion and is not the only force on a free - falling body. A push from being thrown is a force that acts at the moment of throwing, not during free fall. Tension is a force that acts in strings or cables and is not related to free fall. So the only force on a free - falling body is gravity.

Answer:

D. Gravity (assuming the options are labeled A - D as Friction, A push from being thrown, Tension, Gravity respectively)
