Question

Which of the following does not converge to the constancy of acceleration due to gravity on the Earth?

  1. A freely falling body is subjected to a constant gravitational force on the Earth
  2. Newton’s second law
  3. The velocity of a freely falling body increases uniformly
  4. A heavier body takes less time than a lighter body for a free fall

hintHint:

A heavier body takes less time than a lighter body for a free fall does not converge to the constancy of acceleration due to gravity on the Earth.

The correct answer is: A heavier body takes less time than a lighter body for a free fall
