A 4.0 kg sphere and 8.0 kg sphere are both dropped from the same height at the same time. If the two objects are experiencing free fall, what is true about the spheres? Your answer: The 4.0 kg sphere will hit the ground first because it is easier to accelerate. The 8.0 kg sphere will hit the ground first because the force of gravity on it will be stronger. O They will hit the ground at the same time. Neither one will ever hit the ground.

A student takes the elevator up to the fourth floor to see her favorite physics instructor. She stands on the floor of the elevator, which is horizontal. Both the student and the elevator are solid objects, and they both accelerate upward at 5.19 m/s2. This acceleration only occurs briefly at the beginning of the ride up. Her mass is 80.0 kg. What is the normal force exerted by the floor of the elevator on the student during her brief acceleration?
