Does Earth's gravity pull more strongly on a block of wood or on a block or iron having the same size? Neglecting air resistance, which one falls faster when dropped?
A) Gravity pulls more strongly on the iron, and the iron falls faster.
B) Gravity pulls more strongly on the iron, and both fall at the same speed.
C) Gravity pulls equally strongly on both, and the iron falls faster.
D) Gravity pulls equally strongly on both, and both fall at the same speed.
E) None of the above.

Gravity pulls more strongly on the iron due to its greater mass, but both fall at the same speed because gravitational acceleration is constant for all objects regardless of mass.
