4 **Question:**Three stones are dropped from a bridge. Stone 1 has a mass of 10 kg, stone 2 is 80 kg, and stone 3 is 20 kg. Which stone will fall at the fastest rate? (air resistance is negligible)- ○ Stone 1- ○ Stone 2- ○ Stone 3- ○ All fall at the same rate**Explanation:**According to the principles of physics, specifically the law of free fall, when air resistance is negligible, all objects fall at the same rate regardless of their masses. Therefore, the correct answer is: "All fall at the same rate."

Let m1 = 10 kg m2 = 80 kg m3 = 20 kg The air resistance is negligible so each stone will fall with an acceleration equal to the acceleration due to gravity. As acceleration due to gravity is independent of the mass of the object. So each stone will fall at the same rate. Thus the option All fall at the same rate is correct.
