False: the force of gravity acting on different objects is different and depends on their mass
Explanation:
The answer is false.
The force of gravity acting on an object (also known as weight) near the Earth's surface is given by:
where:
m is the mass of the object
is the acceleration of gravity
We see from the formula that the force of gravity acting on an object depends on the mass: the larger the mass of the object, the stronger the gravitational force acting on it, and the smaller the mass, the weaker the force of gravity.
The factor that does not change is the acceleration of gravity, which is constant () if we are near the Earth's surface, and implies that all the objects in free fall accelerate at the same rate towards the ground, regardless of their size and weight.
