An iron ball and a wooden ball of the same radius are released from the same height in vacuum. They take the same time to reach the ground. The reason for this is

A

Acceleration due to gravity is independent of the mass of the falling bodies

B

Acceleration due to gravity in vacuum depends on the size of the bodies

C

In vacuum, the acceleration due to gravity is zero

D

In vacuum, there is resistance to the motion of the bodies

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Both of them reach the ground simultaneously because the acceleration due to gravity is independent of the mass of the falling bodies.
