Two objects of different masses falling freely near the surface of the Moon would
- Ahave different accelerations
- Bundergo a change in their inertia
- Chave same velocity at any instant
- Dexperience forces of same magnitude
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (c) have same velocity at any instant
Explanation
In free fall, acceleration equals acceleration due to gravity (g) and is completely independent of an object's mass.
Starting from rest (u = 0), velocity follows v = gt, so both objects gain the same velocity at any instant.
This rules out different accelerations or unequal forces (heavier mass feels a larger force, but also has more inertia, keeping g constant).
