Does light sink faster or does heavy sink faster?

In a fluid medium, objects sink based on their density relative to the surrounding medium. In general, heavier objects sink faster than lighter objects because they have a greater gravitational force pulling them down. Light itself does not sink as it is not a solid object, but rather a form of electromagnetic radiation.


Do heavier objects fall faster or slower than light one?

Without air resistance, heavier and lighter object fall at the same speed. More precisely, they accelerate at the same speed - near Earth's surface that would be 9.8 meters/second2. If air resistance is significant, heavier objects tend to have less air resistance, compared to their weight, so they will usually fall faster.


What reason might the Greeks have had not to question the evidence that heavier objects fall faster than lighter objects?

The reason that the greeks might not have had any questions to the evidence that hevier objects fall faster than light objects is because they would be questioning statistics which is that heavier objects and lighter objects do not fall at different rates but at the same its just the pending on the weight ex. a brick and a feather you drop a brick it falls quick beacuse of its weight and a feather because of it's weight it falls alot slower but at the measuerment of the objects falling quicker than the other they don't its irrelevent.


What creates light waves?

The wind and the temperature of the water makes it move, and the heavier it is the faster it moves.


What causes dark things to heat faster?

Dark objects absorb more light and heat than lighter-colored objects because they absorb a wider spectrum of light. This absorption of light leads to an increase in the object's temperature. Therefore, dark objects heat up faster than lighter objects when exposed to sunlight.


Why does something with more weight fall faster than something more light?

Gravity? The individual who answered gravity obviously never took a physics course. Two objects of different mass will fall at the same speed since they both accelerate to the Earth's surface at a rate of 9.81 m/s2. So a heavier weight object does not fall faster, assuming that the effects of air resistance are negligible.


Does the gravitation field of the black hole pulled objects in faster than the speed of light?

the answer is no; the speed of light is the universal speed limit, nothing travels faster


Is it easier for a tornado to lift heavier objects or lighter objects?

Tornadoes are more likely to lift lighter objects as they generate an upward force with their strong winds. Heavier objects may be more difficult for tornadoes to lift unless they are caught in the vortex of the tornado's winds.


Who absorb heat faster?

Dark-colored objects absorb heat faster than light-colored objects because they absorb more light energy. Additionally, materials with high thermal conductivity absorb heat faster as they can efficiently transfer heat throughout their structure.


Aristotle said heavy objects will fall faster and Galileo said heavy and light objects will fall at the same acceleration?

Galileo's theory is more accurate - in a vacuum, objects of different weights will fall at the same rate. This principle is known as the equivalence principle. Aristotle's notion was based on observations in air where air resistance affects the fall rate of heavier objects.


Does heavier objects fall faster that light ones?

That depends. 10 lbs. of bricks will fall at the same speed as 10 lbs. of feathers. Meanwhile, a cinderblock will fall far faster than a single feather. If two things are the same weight, they will usually fall at the same speed. If two things are different weights, they will fall at different speeds. ^ This only takes effect when wind resistance is NOT added.


Why does white dries faster than black?

White objects reflect more light and heat compared to black objects, which absorb heat. As a result, white objects do not retain heat as much as black objects, leading to quicker evaporation of moisture and faster drying.
