It is often said that a body will accelerate at the same rate in a gravitational field, independent of its mass.
But if every mass generates a gravitational field of its own, would not this add to the field in which it is falling - so a significantly large mass would fall at a faster rate?
If the gravitational acceleration (a) is the result of the gravitational field, it seems that a will be effected by the mass of any body. Maybe someone could help clarify this issue.
