Which of the following statements is false regarding an object thrown upward from the ground and eventually falling back to its original height? (Assume negligible air resistance.)
a.The acceleration of the object depends on the mass of the object.
b.The speed at which the object is thrown upward is the same as the speed at which it lands.
c.The acceleration is the same as the object rises and falls.
d.The time taken for the object to reach its maximum height is equal to the time taken to fall back to its original height.
