A mass is dropped from a height h above the ground, and freely falls under the influence of gravity. Which graphs here correctly describes the displacement and velocity of the object during the time the object is falling? Consider the "up" direction to be positive. Which graph is it?

B

Explanation:

The only force acting on the block is gravity, so the block has a constant, negative acceleration. This means the velocity of the block is decreasing at a constant rate, so the answer is B, D, or E. Velocity is the rate of change of displacement, and answer choice B is the only one that has a displacement graph that matches that idea.

molecules are free to separate from each other and will take on the shape of the container. molecules move completely at random and high speeds. they vibrate in a fixed position and do not move around much. molecules expand to the edge of their container.
