true or false questions
1. A body can have mass, but experience zero weight force.
2. The force due to air resistance always opposes the direction of motion.
1. True
Because the weight force of body depends upon the acceleration due to gravity (g). When a body having mass move with an elevator, the body behave as free fall and the weight of body in weighting machine shows zero. Hence weght force of body can be zero.
2. True
The air resistance force often opposes the direction of motion. When an object free fall its speed gets slow down due to air resistance force. The air resistance depends upon two factors such as speed of objects and surface area of the object.
