Its urgent the force of gravity between the earth and a small object depends on the mass of both objects. why then do all falling objects on earth have the same acceleration due to gravity regardless of mass? a) larger objects have greater amounts of potential energy. b) the law of universal gravitation only works for large objects. c) larger objects have greater distance between them and the center of the earth. d) large masses have greater force on them, but require more force to accelerate according to the equation f=ma.
