According to Newton's law of gravitation, earth's gravitational force is higher on an object of larger mass. Why doesn't that obejct fall down with higher velocity as compared to an object with lower mass?

Answer»

Solution :i. The ACCELERATION DUE to gravity g on an OBJECT only depends on mas (M) and RADIUS (R) of the earth `g=(GM)/(R^(2))`
(ii). It does not depend on mass (m) of the object.
III. The acceleration produced at a given point is the same for all objects.
iv Hence object of larger mass does not fall down with higher velocity as compared to an object with lower mass.
