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

Question

Responses

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

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

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.

Gravitational acceleration is irrespective of mass.

Answer 1

The correct statement is:

Gravitational acceleration is irrespective of mass.

This statement reflects the principle that the gravitational acceleration experienced by an object in a gravitational field (such as that of Earth) is constant and does not depend on the mass of the object. For example, all objects near the Earth's surface experience a gravitational acceleration of approximately \(9.81 , \text{m/s}^2\), regardless of their masses.
