Misconception Alert
In this example, both the elephant
and the feather are in FREEFALL.
Identify the following statements as TRUE OR FALSE:
1. The elephant and the feather each have the
same force of gravity.
2. The elephant has greater mass than the feather.
On earth, all objects (whether an elephant or a
feather) have the same gravitational
acceleration.
3.
The elephant has the greatest force of gravity,
yet the acceleration is the same for each.
5. When both are released at the same time in
freefall, the elephant will hit the ground first.
