Explain why a 10 kg stone will fall with the same acceleration as 1 kg stone?

Solution

since the acceleration due to gravity is given by,

                         g = GMR2 

where, M is the mass of the Earth. 

Therefore, 'g' does not depend on the mass of the body. So both the stones will fall with the same acceleration.
