Two identical objects begin to fall from rest. One object falls from 200 m above the Earth's surface and the other falls from 200 m above the Moon's surface. One second after they have started to fall, both objects are still accelerating. There is no atmosphere on the Moon and the weight of each object is constant. Which row describes the motion of both objects at this time?
Adecreasing acceleration of object falling above the Earth's surface, constant acceleration of object falling above the Moon's surface
Bconstant acceleration of object falling above the Earth's surface, constant acceleration of object falling above the Moon's surface
Cincreasing acceleration of object falling above the Earth's surface, decreasing acceleration of object falling above the Moon's surface
Dincreasing acceleration of object falling above the Earth's surface, increasing acceleration of object falling above the Moon's surface
✓ Correct answer
A: decreasing acceleration of object falling above the Earth's surface, constant acceleration of object falling above the Moon's surface
