Question

A heavy body falls:

• A. faster than a light body in vacuum
• B. slower than a light body in vacuum
• C. with same acceleration as lighter body in vacuum
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is C with same acceleration as lighter body in vacuum

$h=ut+\frac{1}{2}g{t}^2$

For a freely falling body

$h=\frac{1}{2}g{t}^2$

For a heavy or light weight body when they fall from certain height h

Time of fall is independent of their mass

So both fall with same acceleration and in same time
