Question

2.09)

What would happen to two objects of different masses that are dropped in a
free fall where there is no air friction or any other forces besides gravity?
A. They would fall with an acceleration of 8.9 m/s2.
B. They would hit the ground at the same time.
C. The heavier object would hit the ground first.
D. Both objects would float away.​

Answer 1

b

Step-by-step explanation:

If someone showed you two spheres of the same size but with different masses, say 1g and 10kg, and asked which would hit the ground first after being dropped from the Leaning Tower of Pisa, what would you say? If you’re like most people, you would say the 10kg sphere would hit the ground first. Aristotle said so too, and for 1,000 years everyone believed him. But doing the experiment would show you, besides a great view of Pisa, that in fact, both spheres hit the ground at the same time.This is exactly what Galileo did, showing the world that objects of different masses fall at the same rate. (This is also a good example of why it is important to do experiments yourself and not to just take someone else’s word for it.) To start understanding why Galileo was right, we need to understand the difference between several physics words that are often jumbled together and confused: mass, weight, speed, velocity, acceleration, and force.
