Q. Consider the following statements regarding bodies in motion and free fall:

1. A body at rest has no inertia
2. A body in free fall in vacuum has constant acceleration
3. A body in free fall in vacuum has diminishing kinetic energy

Which of the above statements is / are correct?
Answer: Only 2
Notes: Statement 1 is incorrect because all bodies, whether at rest or in motion, possess inertia. Statement 2 is correct; in a vacuum, a freely falling body accelerates at a constant rate due to gravity. Statement 3 is incorrect, as kinetic energy increases, not diminishes, while the object continues falling.
