Question 1
Two objects of different masses falling freely near the surface of moon would

(a) have same velocities at any instant
(b) have different accelerations
(c) experience forces of same magnitude
(d) undergo a change in their inertia

Open in App

Solution

(a) have same velocities at any instant

Velocity depends on the acceleration, and since same acceleration due to gravity of moon applied on both object, So they will have same velocities at any instant.
