During a science activity, Aarav stands on the terrace of his school and gently releases a rubber ball from rest. The ball falls freely towards the ground. His teacher asks the class to observe the motion of the ball at different positions during its fall.
Assume that air resistance is negligible.
The three positions of the ball are shown below.
Position A: At the top of the building (just released)
Position B: Halfway between the top and the ground
Position C: Just before the ball reaches the ground
Study the situation carefully and answer the following questions.
