AP Physics 1easymcq1 pt
Inertial mass and gravitational mass are
A.experimentally equivalent
B.unrelated quantities
C.always different for the same object
D.only equal on Earth
Explanation
Core Concept
All experiments show the m in F = ma equals the m in F = GMm/r², which is why all objects fall alike.
Correct Answer
Aexperimentally equivalent
