Question

Two bodies of mass 10 kg and 12 kg are falling freely. What is the acceleration of the bodies due to the force of gravity?

• A. Accelerations of both the bodies are different.
• B. Accelerations of both the bodies are same.
• C. Accelerations of both the bodies are negative.
• D. No relation between accelerations of two bodies can be obtained.

Answer 1

The correct option is B Accelerations of both the bodies are same.

The acceleration due to gravity produced is independent of the mass of the body. The accelerations of both the bodies (10 kg and 12 kg) are same (i.e. 9.8 m/s²).
