प्रश्न
Give scientific reasons.
Any object on earth falls vertically downward and not at an angle to the vertical; nor fly off in a horizontal direction.
उत्तर
The centre of the earth receives the force that pulls all objects toward it. Therefore, the direction from the falling object to the centre of the earth is vertically downward at any place.
