The two statements that are correct are:
C. The soccer ball and the car experience the same gravitational force.
E. The soccer ball and the car experience the same acceleration due to gravity.
In a vacuum, all objects fall at the same rate regardless of their mass, experiencing the same acceleration due to gravity, which is approximately 9.81 m/s² on Earth. While the gravitational force experienced by each object is dependent on its mass, the acceleration due to gravity remains constant for both.
