Does lighter objects fall down faster then heavier objects?
No lighter things do not fall faster than heavier things. In a vacuum they will fall at the same speed. Normally the heavier thing will fall down faster because of its weight. Sometimes the lighter thing falls faster depending on the air resistance.
In freefall do heavier objects fall with a greater acceleration than lighter objects?
no, they fall the same acceleration ( one gravity ) neglecting air resistance; however they may reach different velocities with air resistance.
Is argon heavier then air?
Yes, it is heavier than air.
Is natural gas heavier than air?
Is natural gas heavier than air
Is moist air heavier or lighter than dry air?
Moist air is heavier than dry air, because of the water.
Do heavier objects come down faster?
It depends on their air resistance, in a vacuum NO.
Does lighter objects fall down faster then heavier objects?
No lighter things do not fall faster than heavier things. In a vacuum they will fall at the same speed. Normally the heavier thing will fall down faster because of its weight. Sometimes the lighter thing falls faster depending on the air resistance.
In freefall do heavier objects fall with a greater acceleration than lighter objects?
no, they fall the same acceleration ( one gravity ) neglecting air resistance; however they may reach different velocities with air resistance.
What is the direction of acceleration for an object in the air?
Heavier than air objects accelerate downwards. Lighter than air objects accelerate upwards until they are no lighter than the air around them.
Are solvents heavier than air?
Yes solvents are heavier than air
Is breath heavier than air?
No, water is heavier than air.
Why do lighter objects fall slower than heavier objects?
In a vacuum. like in outer space, all substances fall at the same rate. Here on earth, the rate of falling is influenced by air resistance. A feather has 'way more air resistance than a ball of steel, for example, so falls slower.
Is argon heavier then air?
Yes, it is heavier than air.
Is natural gas heavier than air?
Is natural gas heavier than air
What is heavier than air flying craft?
"Heavier than air" refers to airplanes.
Why then do some objects fall through the air at different rate than others?
Some may be may be heavier and have more mass than others.
Which is a heavier-than-air flying craft?
An airplane is a heavier than air flying craft
