Question

Consider 2 bodies A and B .the body B is heavier than A.which of the bodies is attracted with a greater force by earth?which of the 2 will fall with greater acceleration?explain.

Answer 1

Let of mass of body A be m1.
let mass of second body B be m₂
Let M be the mass of earth.
∵m₂ > m1
BY universal law of gravitation,
F1=gMm1/r²
F2=gMm2/r²
∴F2>F1
Heavy mass is clearly attracted with a greater force.
however, acceleration due to gravity, g is same for both bodies as it depends on mass and radius of earth.
g=GM/R²

Answer 2

Answer:

Ball b is attracted more

Both will reach the ground simultaneously

Explanation:

As mass is more force is also more

Graviton is constant and both fall at same rate
