Which statement best compares the accelerations of two objects in free fall?

A) The heavier object has a greater acceleration.

B) The object that has the greater surface area has the lower acceleration

C) The object that has the smaller mass has the greater acceleration

D) The objects have the same acceleration

Answer: option D). The objects have the same acceleration.

The acceleration of both objects is g (acceleration of gravity).

In freefall the only force acting is the attraction of the earth (gravity). There is not air resistance. The acceleration is not dependent either of the mass or the surface area of the object.
