Explanation

Explain why a heavier object does not fall faster

1 pts
volume_mute

Explain why a heavier object does not fall faster when dropped since the accelerating force (its weight) is greater.

Explanation:

its mass is greater by just the _______ as its weight.  Thus, an application of Newton's second law (F ma) results in the same acceleration
