A student drops a 2-kilogram book and 10-kilogram book from a height of 10 meters. He uses a stopwatch to determine how long it takes for each book to hit the ground. Which question is the student most likely trying to answer? (1 point) Will objects fall faster when dropped from different heights? Does gravity affect objects of different masses differently? Do objects break when they are dropped from a height? How does gravity change as massive objects fall?

The student is most likely trying to answer the question: Does gravity affect objects of different masses differently?

This is inferred from the scenario where the student drops two books of different masses from the same height to compare their falling times, which relates to the effect of gravity on objects of varying masses.
