Two objects of different masses falling freely near the surface of the Moon would
Correct Answer
have same velocity at any instant
Principle: Acceleration due to gravity ($g$) is independent of the mass of the falling object ($g = GM/R^2$). Velocity: $v = u + gt$. Since $g$ and $u$ (0) are......
💡 Analysis & Explanation
Principle
Acceleration due to gravity ($g$) is independent of the mass of the falling object ($g = GM/R^2$).
Velocity
$v = u + gt$. Since $g$ and $u$ (0) are same, velocity is same at any instant.
Force
$F = mg$. Force depends on mass, so it differs.
