An iron ball and a wooden ball of the same radius are released from the same height in vacuum. They take the same time to reach the ground. The reason for this is
- AAcceleration due to gravity in vacuum is same irrespective of the size and mass of the body
- BAcceleration due to gravity in vacuum depends upon the mass of the body
- CThere is no acceleration due to gravity in vacuum
- DIn vacuum there is a resistance offered to the motion of the body and this resistance depends upon the mass of the body
