Here a masses for 5 different objects. Each is dropped from rest, find which object (may be more than one) will have the greatest acceleration in free fall
The table below shows the masses for 5 different objects. Each object experiences the same acceleration while in free fall.

| Object   | Mass    |
|----------|---------|
| Object A | 318 kg  |
| Object B | 4.9 kg  |
| Object C | 52 kg   |
| Object D | 0.13 kg |
| Object E | 0.092 kg |

Each object listed is affected by gravity in the same way, which means they all accelerate at the same rate due to gravity regardless of their differing masses. This principle is a fundamental concept in physics, illustrating that the acceleration due to gravity is constant for all objects in free fall, assuming no air resistance.
