Question
Chapter 4, Problem 24RCQ
To determine
To determine;Why is there a difference in acceleration between a heavy and light object when both are freely falling?
Solution;A heavy objectdoesn’t accelerate more than a light object when both are freely falling because the acceleration due to gravity is same for both and is independent of mass of the object.
