Thanks for asking the question.
When an object fall toward the Earth, under gravity in the absence of air resistance, it is called a free falling body. These objects have the same acceleration, which is acceleration due to gravity. On Earth, acceleration due to gravity is 9.8m/s/s.
For example a body is thrown in downward direction, the acceleration will be -9.8m/s/s, negative sign shows the direction which is vertically downward.
Freely falling stones of different masses can prove that acceleration of free falling body is independent of mass.
Hope it helps.

Answer:

The value of acceleration due to gravity is independent of mass of the body.

Explanation:

Let us consider the mass of the object as mand mass of earth as M

Therefore, force between the object and earth would be given by:

F=GMm/d²

This force is equal to the weight of the object, i.e. mg

mg=GMm/d²

g=GM/d²

Therefore, the value of acceleration due to gravity is independent of mass of the body.
