If you drop two objects A and B of masses 20g and 37 kg respectively in vacuum from a height of 10m above the surface of earth. Which one will reach the ground first? Give reasons to support your answer.
Answers
Answer:
both reach at same time
Explanation:
because g =GM/D^2 hence without any unbalanced force by atmosphere is vacuum so g is accelaration independent from mass of less objects hence g is dependent on mass of large object or who attract other object therefore
g =GM/D^2
Answer:
Both objects A and B will reach the ground at the same time.
Explanation:
The earth attracts every object towards its center. This attractive force is called the force of gravity. The objects on the surface of the earth will experience an acceleration due to this force of gravity. This is termed acceleration due to gravity. The equation of acceleration due to gravity is,
g = GM / R²
From the equation, it is clear that the value of g depends only on the mass of the earth (M), the radius of the earth (R), and the value of the universal gravitational constant (G).
So the mass of the falling object is doesn't influence the value of g. ie; all objects on the surface of the earth will experience the same acceleration due to gravity irrespective of their masses.
Hence we can say that objects A and B will reach the ground at the same time if they are allowed to fall in a vacuum.
