Gravity is a fundamental force of nature that causes objects with mass to be attracted to each other. It is responsible for keeping planets in orbit around the sun and for objects falling to the ground.
Objects fall to the ground because of the force of gravity. The Earth's mass creates a gravitational pull that attracts objects towards its center. This force causes the objects to accelerate towards the ground at a rate of 9.8 meters per second squared.
Gravity affects the motion of objects by causing them to accelerate towards each other. The strength of the gravitational force depends on the mass of the objects and the distance between them. Objects with larger masses will have a stronger gravitational pull on each other.
Yes, gravity affects all objects equally, regardless of their mass. However, objects with larger masses will have a stronger gravitational pull on other objects, causing them to accelerate at a faster rate towards each other.
In the absence of air resistance, both objects will hit the ground at the same time. This is known as the "Principle of Equivalence" and was famously demonstrated by Galileo's experiment with dropping objects of different masses from the Leaning Tower of Pisa. However, in the real world, air resistance can play a role in the speed at which objects fall, causing lighter objects to fall slower than heavier objects.
