1. Three smooth objects of exactly the same size and shape, one made of wood, one made of iron and one make of plastic, are dropped at the same exact time from a high building to the ground below. The ball to encounter the greater gravitational acceleration on the way down is the?

A. Wooden ball

B. Plastic ball

C. Iron ball

D. All three objects will have the same gravitational acceleration

  1. D, because those objects compared (in mass) to earth is relatively very small, it doesnt matter if they differ in weigh. they will fall with the same graviational acceleration.

    this is differently when you talk about meteors or planets or stars, because then the objects are big, very big and the gravitational acceleration due to newtons gravity theories on space will be differently


  2. The answer will probably be D, even though the iron ball will have a minutely higher gravitational acceleration because iron is the densest material listed.

  3. d

  4. They all experience the same gravitational acceleration.  In the absence of any other forces, any object will accelerate in a gravitational field at the same rate, regardless of the mass of the object.

    On the surface of the Earth, all objects fall with an acceleration of somewhere between 9.78 and 9.82 m/s² depending on latitude.

    So the answere is D.

  5. D. All three objects will have the same gravitational acceleration
