You drop balls of varying mass, foam ball, soccer ball and a bowling ball, from the same height on Earth.What does this tell us about the force of gravity on objects with different masses?

Force of gravity is given by the formula


F=mass* acceleration\text{ due to gravity}

Acceleration due to gravity is constant for the earth, so


F\propto\text{ mass}

Thus, the force of gravity increases with increasing masses.
