Question

Gravity causes objects near Earth to fall toward Earth. Although objects may have different masses, their acceleration as they fall will be the same. Therefore, no matter the difference in mass, objects that fall from the same height will land at the same time.
A. True
B. False

GPT-5 mini · Answer

B. False.

Gravitational acceleration near Earth is independent of mass (F = mg → a = F/m = g), so in a vacuum two objects dropped from the same height land together. In the real world air resistance matters: objects with different shapes, sizes or densities experience different drag and can fall at different rates (e.g., a feather vs. a bowling ball).

Gravity causes objects near Earth to fall toward Earth. Although objects may have different masses, their acceleration as they fall will be the same. Therefore, no matter the difference in mass, objects that fall from the same height will land at the same time.
A. True
B. False
