Question

A heavy object falls with same acceleration as a light object during free fall. Choose the correct reason for this effect:


i) ‘g’ is independent of mass

ii) ‘g’ is higher for heavy mass

iii) ‘g’ depends on mass

iv) ‘g’ is higher for light mass

​

Because the downward force on an object is equal to its mass multiplied by g, heavier objects have a greater downward force. Heavier objects, however, also have more inertia, which means they resist moving more than lighter objects do, and so heaver objects need more force to get them going at the same rate.
