Answer:

 The stones which is heavier i.e. 500 gm will reach the surface of the earth first.

Explanation:

in the context to the question ;

we have to find the stone which will reach earths surface first; if are dropped from a height.

(IF THE STONES ARE DROPPED FROM A SAME HEIGHT AND WITH SAME MASS OF EARTH)

We know;

the force acting the stone is ;

F = m x a

therefore;

the force on 150 gm stone = 150 x 9.8 ( gravitational force) = 1470 N

the force on 500 gm stone = 500 x 9.8 ( gravitational force) = 4900 N

   

So, by this we can clearly state that the stone experiencing more force towards the surface of earth will reach first.

Hence ;   The stones which is heavier i.e. 500 gm will reach the surface of the earth first.
