The earth’s gravitational force causes an acceleration of 5 m/s2
in a 1 kg mass somewhere in
space. How much will the acceleration of a 3 kg mass be at the same place? Give your answer
with reason.
The acceleration produced in a body due to the gravitational pull of the earth does not depend on the mass of the body. So the acceleration produced in the 3kg mass will also be 5m/s square
