Question 118

Two spheres of different masses are released at the same time from the same height inside a vacuum chamber.

What will happen and why?

A

Both spheres reach the bottom at the same time. Why: Acceleration of free fall is constant.

B

Both spheres reach the bottom at the same time. Why: The spheres fall at a constant speed.

C

The heavier sphere reaches the bottom first. Why: Gravitational force is greater on more massive objects.

D

The heavier sphere reaches the bottom first. Why: Acceleration of free fall increases with mass.
