Q

Even though he physicist in question 12 is technically correct why do we go ahead and assume that heavy objects in our in freefall when they are near the surface of the earth

A

Because of heavy objects push through the air a lot easier than smart objects does the effective air is the sense is so minor it doesn’t matter
