Ans: No
4. When a ball falls from a height its momentum increases.
Ans: When a ball falls from a height its velocity
increases due to acceleration of gravity.
5. When a high jumper leaves the ground, where does the
force which accelerates the jumper upward comes from?
Ans: When a high jumper leaves the ground, the jumper
was forced upward by the ground, which is the force that
causes the jumper to accelerate upward.
CASE STUDY:
1. The professor of class X asked Madan and Prathiva to
find the distance of the moon from the Earth. Pratibha
said it is impossible to find. But Madan was excited to
know. He observed the moon from two diametrically
