(i) Consider Newton's laws of motion and equations of motion.
(ii) When the bodies are dropped from the same height, with zero initial velocity, will the value of the acceleration due to gravity actiong on the bodies remain constant (same)?
Will distance moved by the bodies under gravity depend on its weight?
Is factor of 'mass' involved in the equations of motions?
