Question 1 (1 point)

All objects fall at the same rate if there is no air resistance.

True
False

True. All objects, regardless of their mass, fall toward the Earth at the same rate if there is no air resistance. This is known as the acceleration due to gravity and has a value of approximately 9.8 meters per second squared at the Earth's surface.

To determine the correct answer to this question, we can rely on the principle of gravity as described by Sir Isaac Newton. According to Newton's second law of motion, the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the force applied to it and inversely proportional to its mass. In the absence of air resistance, all objects near the surface of the Earth experience the same gravitational force, regardless of their masses. Therefore, based on Newton's laws of motion, the correct answer is: True.

True
