प्रश्न
During a free fall, will heavier objects accelerate more than lighter ones ?
उत्तर
No, because acceleration due to gravity (g) does not depend on the body’s mass. Thus, bodies of different mass accelerate towards the earth with same acceleration.

What is the usual value of the acceleration due to gravity of earth ?
The values of g at six distances A, B, C, D, E and F from the surface of the earth are found to be 3.08 m/s2, 9.23 m/s2, 0.57 m/s2, 7.34 m/s2, 0.30 m/s2 and 1.49 m/s2, respectively.
(a) Arrange these values of g according to the increasing distances from the surface of the earth (keeping the value of g nearest to the surface of the earth first)
(b) If the value of distance F be 10000 km from the surface of the earth, state whether this distance is deep . inside the earth or high up in the sky. Give reason for your answer.
