Question

A small ball (mass of 0.5 kg) and a large brick (mass of 10 kg) are dropped from a height of 5 meters. Both items are released at the same time. Neglecting air resistance, which object has the greater acceleration?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

neglecting air resistance both will land at the same moment.

both have therefore the same acceleration.

Answer 2

`\boxed {\boxed {\sf Both \ objects \ have \ the \ same \ acceleration}}`

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following situation:

2 objects are dropped from a height of 5 meters and released at the same time. The small ball has a mass of 0.5 kilograms and the brick has a mass of 10 kilograms.

We are asked to find which object has the greater acceleration.

Since we are neglecting air resistance, neither object has a greater acceleration. All objects, without air resistance, have the same acceleration due to gravity: 9.8 m/s².
