Question

Does the acceleration produced in a freely falling body depend on the mass of the earth

Answer 1

yes absolutely!!… Acceleration produced by a planet like earth on a body depends on the planets mass. Acceleration on a free falling body is  the gravitational pull of the earth. This acceleration is given by Newtons law of universal gravitation.

g=GM/r²  where g is the acceleration produced, G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the object(earth in our case) and r is the radius of the body.

Example → for Earth:

⇒6.67×10⁻¹¹ × 5.972×10²⁴/ 6371²

g = 9.8136m/s

Answer 2

Answer:

The acceleration of a freely falling body is equal to g, which is known as acceleration due to gravity. From the above expression, it is clear that the acceleration of a freely falling body is independent of mass of the body, but depends on mass of the planet.
