Consider the following objects and their locations. Object a 2-kg object 5 cm above the floor Object b 2-kg object 120 cm above the floor Object c 3-kg object 120 cm above the floor Object d 3-kg object 80 cm above the floor (i) Rank the gravitational accelerations you would measure for the objects. List the one with the largest-magnitude acceleration first. If any are equal, show their equality in your list.

The gravitational acceleration is same for all objects.

a = b = c = d

Explanation:

Acceleration due to gravity or gravitational acceleration is the force exerted by Earth on unit mass of an object.

Acceleration due to gravity doesn't depend on the height of the object when the height is object is near to the surface of the Earth. Only when the height is comparable to the radius of the Earth, the value of gravitational acceleration changes.

But for the objects here, the gravitational acceleration is independent of the mass or height of the objects and has a constant value of 9.8 m/s².

Therefore, the gravitational acceleration of all the objects is same.

If 'a', 'b', 'c', and 'd' represent gravitational accelerations of objects 'a', 'b', 'c', and 'd' respectively, then a = b = c = d.
