show with the help of an experiment that the acceleration of a freely falling body doesn't depend on the mass of that body. pls answer this question:)

Experiment

Materials needed

Stop watch, a small stone, a big stone, a balance.

Procedure

Measure the mass of the two stones.

Hold the two stones about 5m above the ground level.

Drop the stones simultaneously.

Record the time taken for the stones to strike the ground.

Repeat the procedure with different masses of objects at the same height.

Observation, it will be observed that, all the objects dropped from the same height strike the ground at the same time interval.

Conclusion; a falling object doesn't depend on mass

Explanation:

½mv²=mgh

g=½(V²/h)

When an object is held at a height, it posses gravitational potential energy which is mgh, where m= mass, h=height, g=acceleration due gravity

When the object is dropped, the potential energy will be converted to kinetic energy which is ½mv², where V=velocity at which the object moves.

V=∆h/t, ∆h is change in height with respect to time.

½mv²=mgh

Mass cancel out,

g=v²/2h

This implies that g does not depend or is not affected by mass. Hence heavy object and light object will reach the ground at the same time when dropped from the same height. When air resistance is negligible.
