In a vacuum, all objects fall with the same acceleration due to gravity, regardless of their mass. The acceleration due to gravity (g) is approximately 9.8 m/s² on Earth.
Which of the following statement(s) about the freely falling objects is/are FALSE? Freely falling objects are the objects falling from a height towards the earth under gravitational force of the earth. The acceleration of a body falling freely towards the earth depends on the mass of the body. If an object is dropped freely from a height, its initial velocity 'u' is zero and if an object is thrown vertically upwards, its final velocity 'v' becomes zero. Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
