Choose the correct answers from the options given.
A:
B:
C:
D:
Correct Answer
A
Explanation
Ignoring air resistance, both the stone and the feather will fall at the same rate and hit the Earth's surface simultaneously. This is because in the absence of air resistance, the only force acting on both objects is gravity, and all objects, regardless of their mass, experience the same acceleration due to gravity on Earth. This acceleration is approximately 9.8 meters per second squared (m/s²) near the surface of the Earth. Therefore, both the stone and the feather will fall with the same acceleration and reach the ground at the same time.
