Question
Newton's 2nd law says that when a larger force is applied to an object of mass m, the object will experience a larger acceleration. At the same time, you've learned that all objects experience the same acceleration in a free fall, even if their weights (the forces of gravity acting on them) are different. That sounds like a contradiction: on one hand, from the Newton's 2nd law, a larger force means larger acceleration, on the other hand when applied to motion under gravity - a larger weight (force) means the same acceleration for all objects. How do you reconcile these statements? Why isn't it a contradiction? Does gravity violate the Newton's second law or is there another explanation. Be as thorough and clear in your explanation as possible.
Explanation / Answer
in a freely falling body case
if we consider the ar resistance then different accelarations for different bodies
but if we neglect the air resistance or force then we say it will be uniform irresective f the weights which we considered.
this is the reason the accelarations of the different bodies are having uniform accelaration..
and
larger force means larger accelaration means here in this also we are conidering the fforce is applied by air
then
finally saying if air resistance is there means different bodies are having different acccelaration
and larger weights are having larger accelaration..
once air resistance isnot considered the above statements are true there is no contrdiction..
