Advanced Science Primary 6 Interactions

A ball is dropped from a height. Which graph correctly shows the gravitational force acting on the ball as it falls?

A A graph showing force increasing
B A graph showing force staying constant
C A graph showing force decreasing
D A graph showing force starting at zero
Show Worked Solution

Worked Solution

Step 1: Gravitational force (weight) depends on mass and the Earth's pull. Step [2-9]: The mass of the ball does not change as it falls. Step [2-9]: Near the surface, Earth's pull is considered constant, so the force is a horizontal line on a graph.

Correct answer: A graph showing force staying constant
