I. Vertical acceleration on the ball decreases as it falls

II. The vertical force on the ball remains constant

III. The vertical speed of the ball increases as it falls

A. I only
B. II only
C. I and II only
D. II and III only

Correct Answer: Option D

D. II and III only

Explanation

The body while coming down is acted upon by acceleration due to gravity, hence, the vertical force is constant. Also, at maximum height, the vertical velocity is 0 and then increases as the body comes downward.
