Question

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

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.
Gravitational acceleration is irrespective of mass.

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.

Answer 1

Gravitational acceleration is irrespective of mass.

Reason: gravitational force on an object is proportional to its mass (F = mg), so acceleration g = F/m is the same for all masses (neglecting air resistance). This is the equivalence of gravitational and inertial mass.
