Gravitational force acts on all objects ...

Gravitational force acts on all objects in properties to their masses. Why then, a heavy object does not fall faster than a light object?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand why a heavy object does not fall faster than a light object, we can break down the explanation into several steps: ### Step 1: Understanding Gravitational Force The gravitational force acting on an object can be expressed using the formula: \[ F = m \cdot g \] where \( F \) is the gravitational force, \( m \) is the mass of the object, and \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately \( 9.81 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) near the Earth's surface). ### Step 2: Acceleration Due to Gravity ...

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

The gravitational force of attraction between two objects is x. Keeping the masses of the objects unchanged, if the distance between the objects is halved, then the magnitude of gravitational force between them will become:
