Two spheres of different masses, $m_1\,$ and $m_2$ (where $m_1 > m_2$ ), are released from rest at the same height inside a vacuum chamber. What will happen and why?

Both spheres reach the bottom at the same time — Acceleration due to gravity is independent of mass

Both spheres reach the bottom at the same time — Both spheres fall at the same constant speed throughout

The sphere of mass $m_1$ reaches the bottom first — The gravitational force on $m_1$ is greater

The sphere of mass $m_1$ reaches the bottom first — The acceleration of $m_1$ is greater because of its larger mass
