ignoring air resistance, a watermelon and a grape dropped from the roof of reitz at the same time will hit the ground at the same time applies to which of newtons laws? select one: newtons first law newtons second law newtons third law gravity newtons law of universal gravitation
The fact that objects of different masses fall at the same rate (ignoring air - resistance) is due to Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation. It states that every point mass attracts every other point mass by a force acting along the line joining the points. The acceleration due to gravity is the same for all objects near the Earth's surface regardless of their mass.
