In vacuum all freely falling objects:A. have the same speed B. have the same velocityC. have the same accelerationD. have the same force

Answer»

In vacuum all falling objects will have same acceleration.

The constant acceleration is due to gravitational force of earth and is known as acceleration due to gravity given by: g = G\(\frac{M}{R^2}\)

where,

G = Gravitational Constant = 6.67 x 10-11 Nm2kg-2

M = Mass of Earth

R = Radius of Earth

From above, we see that all variables in the equation are constant. Thus g doesn’t depend on any other factors, and hence is constant.

Hence, option C is correct.
