Question

If the small and big stones are dropped from the roof simultaneously they will reach the ground at the same time. why?

Answer 1

because the force of gravity is equal on all the objects above the earth is not related to the size or weight or mass of the object

Answer 2

If the small and big stones are dropped from the roof simultaneously they will reach the ground at the same time because the acceleration of the stone depends upon gravity but not on mass.

Acceleration due to gravity:

• It depends upon the gravitational force of any object and it is affected by the shape of the earth
• The acceleration due to gravity attracts the stone or any material towards the gravitational force
• The mass of the object does not depend upon the acceleration due to gravity
• The object which has different masses the acceleration due to gravity remains the same
• The acceleration due to gravity changes with the depth of the earth's surface
