Question

Which of the following statements about gravitational mass is true?(1 point)
Responses

Gravitational acceleration is always equal to mass.
Gravitational acceleration is always equal to mass.

Gravitational acceleration is irrespective of mass.
Gravitational acceleration is irrespective of mass.

The less mass an object has, the less gravitational acceleration it will experience.
The less mass an object has, the less gravitational acceleration it will experience.

The more mass an object has, the more gravitational acceleration it will experience.

Answer 1

The correct statement about gravitational mass is:

**Gravitational acceleration is irrespective of mass.**

This statement is accurate because, according to the principle of equivalence, the gravitational acceleration (g) experienced by an object in a gravitational field is the same regardless of its mass. In a vacuum, all objects fall at the same rate regardless of their mass when only gravity acts on them.
