A volleyball is released three times from three different heights: 5 m, 10 m, and 20 m. Which statement is correct about the volleyball?

Question

1. The volleyball accelerates more quickly toward the ground when released from a higher height. 
2. The volleyball accelerates the same amount toward the ground each time. 
3. The volleyball accelerates more slowly toward the ground when released from a higher height. 
4. The volleyball may accelerate more quickly or slowly depending on its mass. 

Please explain i think its A.

Answer 1

All objects released closed to the surface of the earth experience the same acceleration equal to 9.8m/s2. This acceleration is called the acceleration due to gravity. This is independent of the height from where the object is released as long as it is close to the surface of the earth and also independent of its mass.

So B is the correct answer.
