Determine the acceleration of a freely falling object

Reference no: EM13563460

Suppose that gravatational mass and inertial mass aredifferent but they are proportional to one another. Would heavy andlight objects then fall at the same rate? As an explicit example,assume that inertial mass is twice as great as gravatational mass. Determine the acceleration of a freely falling object near thesurface of the Earth.
