- The soccer ball and the car experience the same acceleration due to gravity.
- The gravitational force each object experiences is dependent on mass.
Explanation: In a vacuum both fall with acceleration g (≈9.8 m/s²) regardless of mass. The gravitational force on each is F = m g, so the heavier car feels a larger force, but a = F/m = g is the same for both.
