According to newton’s law of universal gravitation, which statement is true? lighter objects experience a higher acceleration than heavier objects. a) falling objects accelerate as they approach the ground. b) the weight of an object increases as it moves away from the ground. c) lighter objects experience a lower acceleration than heavier objects. d) the mass of an object increases as it moves closer to the ground.

Option (a) is correct.

Falling objects accelerate as they approach the ground.This is because of the force of gravity acting on the falling objects. so the velocity of these objects increases continuously as they approach the ground. the acceleration acting on the falling objects is a constant ( close to the surface of earth) and is called as acceleration due to gravity denoted by g. value of g=9.8 m/s².

As the body approaches the ground gravitational force increases due to which acceleration increases. Option (A) is correct . Falling objects accelerate as they approach the ground.

Gravitation is a natural law by which all things with all matter are attracted towards one another.

Gravity is responsible for large-scale structures present in the Universe. Gravity has an unlimited range, although its effects depend on the distance.

The gravitational force is s type of force that has the ability to attract any two objects with mass. Gravitational force tries to pull two masses towards each other.

As the body approaches the ground gravitational force increases due to which acceleration increases.

Hence option (A) is correct. Falling objects accelerate as they approach the ground.
