Two object of different masses falling freely near the surface of moon would

A

Have same velocities at any instant

B

Have different accelerations

C

Experience forces of some magnitude

D

Undergo a change in their inertia

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Objects of different masses falling freely near the surface of the moon would have the same velocities at any instant because they will have acceteration due to gravity.
