More massive objects have a large gravitational force or weight. why do heavier objects accelerate to the ground at the same rate as lighter ones? a) smaller objects have more inertia. b) more massive objects have less inertia. c) all objects have the same pull of gravity on them. d) heavier objects need a greater force to accelerate according to f=ma.

D) Heavier objects need a greater force to accelerate according to F=ma.

Explanation:

The force of gravity acting on an object is equal to:

F = mg

where m is the mass of the object and g is the acceleration due to gravity. According to the formula, heavier objects (objects with greater mass, m) have a larger force of gravity acting on them.

However, the acceleration of an object towards the ground is given by:

therefore, we see that if the object is heavier (larger mass, m), the force of gravity (F) must also be larger in order to have the same acceleration a.

as a general rule, scissors have blades less than 6 in (15 cm) long and usually have handles with finger holes of the same size. shears have blades scissors used to cut hair or fabric must be much sharper.

layers of the earth affect the waves and these effects are seen on instruiments such as seimometers
