Does Gravity Pull Everything Equally Regardless of Mass?
š” The Answer
- In a vacuum, all objects fall at the same acceleration rate due to gravity.
- This was famously demonstrated by Apollo 15 astronaut David Scott with a hammer and feather.
- The equivalence principle is a cornerstone of Einstein's general relativity.
- Air resistance disrupts this equality on Earth, but in a vacuum it holds perfectly.
