Uhm, isn't this wrong? Sorry for posting anonymously, but I normally don't edit wikipedia. Anyways, this wrong because as the ball falls down towards a gravitational body, it is closer, and therefore accelerating faster than initially, while in a constantly accelerating rocket, it's acceleration is constant throughout the fall.

Picture is right: A constant gravitational field is equivalent to a constant acceleration. (Principle of Equivalence) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.69.116.4 (talk) 19:01, 18 March 2008 (UTC)Reply
