a 100 - g ball and a 50 - g ball are dropped from a tower. both balls have the same size and there is no air resistance. which answer best describes how they fall
the 50 - g ball hits the ground first
the 100 - g ball hits the ground first
both balls hit the ground at the same time
Gravity is one of the four fundamental forces and acts independently of other forces. In the absence of air - resistance, all objects near the Earth's surface fall with the same acceleration ($g\approx9.8m/s^{2}$), regardless of their mass. This is a result of Newton's second law ($F = ma$) and the gravitational force formula ($F = mg$), where the mass cancels out when calculating the acceleration.
