Resultant Force
When several forces act simultaneously on the same body, then the combined effect of the multiple forces can be represented by a single force, which is termed as ‘resultant force’. It is equal to the vector sum (adding the magnitude of the forces with their direction) of all the forces. If the resultant force of […]

What is Free Fall Class 9
What is free fall class 9 – The falling of an object from a height towards the earth under the gravitational force of the earth (with no other forces acting on it) is called free fall. And such an object is called a freely falling body (or ‘freely falling object’). So, whenever a body (or object) falls towards the earth on its own, we say that it is under free fall or that it is a freely falling body (or freely falling object).
