In frictionless environment which is fallen first amongst light body or heavy body?

1 Answer

Answer :

While falling, if we neglect air resistance (friction) then only force acting on body is its own weight viz = mg  So now its totally depend on mass of body, more is mass more will be the force acting on body and earlier will it reach the ground and vice verca
