Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
"Which statement best compares the accelerations of two objects in free fall? 1.The heavier object has a greater acceleration. 2.The object that has the greater surface area has the lower acceleration 3. The object that has the smaller mass has the greater acceleration 4.The objects have the same acceleration "
Answer:
The objects have the same acceleration.
Explanation:
The free fall movement was studied by the Italian physicist Galileo Galilei. According to his studies, Galileo showed that bodies in free fall, even those of different masses, would reach the ground at the same time, as they would be subject to the same acceleration. The free fall is, therefore, a movement described by the bodies, abandoned at a certain height, which happens exclusively by the effect of local gravity. In this type of movement, we disregard the effect of drag or friction forces.
