Question
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
- Acceleration due to gravity in vacuum is same irrespective of the size and mass of the body
- Acceleration due to gravity in vacuum is depends upon the mass of the body
- There is no acceleration due to gravity in vacuum
- In vacuum there is a resistance offered to the motion of the body and this resistance depends upon the mass of the body
The correct answer is: Acceleration due to gravity in vacuum is same irrespective of the size and mass of the body
