A single brick falls with acceleration g. The reason a double brick falls with the same acceleration is
A)that in free fall all accelerations are g.
B)its ratio of force to mass is the same.
C)an experimental fact tested many times.
D)none of the above

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The acceleration of an object in free fall is determined by the ratio of the gravitational force acting on it to its mass. For both a single brick and a double brick, this ratio remains constant (force due to gravity is proportional to mass), resulting in the same acceleration g.
