Choose the wrong option.

Options

A. Inertial mass is a measure of difficulty of accelerating a body by an external force whereas the gravitational mass is relevant in determining the gravitational force on it by an external mass. .
B. That the gravitational mass and inertial mass are equal is an experimental result.
C. That the acceleration due to the gravity on Earth is the same for all bodies and is due to the quality of gravitational mass and inertial mass.
D. Gravitational mass of a particle like proton can depend on the presence of neighbouring heavy objects but the inertial mass cannot .

Answer

D

Explanation

(d) According to the principle of equivalence, the gravitational mass of a body is equal to its inertial mass.
